Would you pay Fife a visit?

Did I manage to convince you to add Fife to your Scotland itinerary?

From the lens Visit Fife in Scotland.

    I was at JSSL in Crail in 1957/58 - lovely spot, but bloody cold, the wind never stopped blowing all through the winter !

    Another great lens - and I learned a few things. I knew Vettriano was Scottish but never knew the Singing Butler beach was at Leven.

    Blessed and added to The Best of the UK

    I will be studying at University of St. Andrews shortly. Your article helped certainly in making this decision. Is it an expensive place to live in? Would you suggest working to support myself? And how open are the locals to international students (I'm an Indian)

    Hello and congratulations on being accepted by the University of St Andrews! Fife (and Scotland in general) is less expensive to live in than many other parts of the UK. It is also less multi-cultural than many other places. However, don't let that worry you, St Andrews is a very small place and about half the population of the town consists of the University's students and staff. A number of these are from overseas countries and many different nations and races are represented. You will fit right in. The only downside to St Andrews is that it is a little isolated and not easy to get to larger towns for work. You may of course be able to find work in St Andrews and the University's career centre would I believe help you with that. Bring warm clothes, there is often a sea breeze or sea fog in the town even in the warmer months! It is a lovely place to study though.

    I would love to visit Fifeshire. You didn't jave to convince me. My 2x great grandfather and his family were from Cameron, Kilrenny and St Monance. Angel blessed for such a lovely lens.

    Great lens and I know a lot of the places well. My maternal grandmother was from Cowdenbeath. I know Fife fairly well but in recent years I've only visited briefly - Dunfermline for a family wedding. One of the places I lived in Edinburgh, however, looked on to the Firth of Forth and over to Fife! :)

    Wow! I really missed a lot! Such sadness over that reality. Now I really must return to Scotland and spend a week in Fife so I can really enjoy all of your recommendations. Wanna be my tour guide :) You know it will take me a few years to save up enough money for another vacation, but I would love to really tour Fife now! Most Excellent!!!

    I'd love to visit Scotland. My entire maternal ancestors came from Scotland and several relatives have visited in the past. I've not made it yet, but it's on the Wish List for me and my daughter! The Fife would be a definite - it looks so beautiful in all these lovely pictures. I like the fishing villages -- looks like a Postcard!

    Your home town is lovely!

    Definitely a wonderful lens. You know that I love the British Islands and since they're close to my country, they're on my travel sheet since a long time! So, Fife's another place I'll write down and visit the day I'll have time for it.
    Marvelous place.
    Dom.

    PS Rated, fav'd and lensrolled and first other lensmaster's lens I'll talk about on my blog!

    Wow! The scenery is gorgeous! You did a fabulous job talking about the history of Fife and places to see. If I ever make it to Scotland, I will be sure to add Fife to the itinerary!
