Find a Sport

You may feel that history and culture are not your 'thing' and that you'd rather find a sport to do when you visit the Kingdom of Fife. Well, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Fife has just about every sport under the sun except skiing and mountain sports, but these too are within easy reach. Of course if you do like these other things check out the page on Historic Buildings and the page on Art Galleries and Museums , or if you prefer Parks and Gardens , and of course the Visitor Attractions . Do have a look also the pages on Places to See and well as the overview of Things to do in Fife .

But back to sports - most people know Fife for one sport only - that is Golf and people travel from all over the world to play on the famous "Old Course" at - St Andrews , the 'Home of Golf'. I know that many are so thrilled to have this experience, but maybe they don't realise that there are dozens of other wonderful Golf Courses in Fife. So if golf IS your sport, you've come to the right place. There are plenty watersports at the award-winning Fife Beaches .
