Extending south of St Andrews as far as Largo Bay, the East Neuk is famous for its series of quaint fishing villages, all crow-stepped gables and tiled roofs, the Flemish influence in the architecture indicating a history of strong trading links with the Low Countries. Inland, gently rolling hills provide some of the best farmland in Scotland, with quiet country lanes more redolent of parts of southern England than north of the border. Not surprisingly the area is dotted with windy golf courses , though if you prefer your walk unspoilt there are plenty of bracing coastal paths, including one out to Fife Ness, the "nose" of Fife sticking out into the North Sea, or along the waymarked Fife Coastal Path , which traces the

shore from Crail southwest to the Forth Rail Bridge, and is at its most scenic in the East Neuk stretch. Bus #95 runs from Leven around the coast to Dundee.

Well patronized by holidaymakers and weekenders from the Central Belt, the various restaurants of the East Neuk are one of the highlights of the area, with freshly landed seafood a speciality, but often complemented by produce gleaned from the fertile Fife farmland which rolls off pleasantly into the hinterland.
