Local Area Details

Crail is the most picturesque of the string of small fishing villages and harbours nestling along the East Neuk of Fife, its houses with traditional crow-stepped gables and pantile roofs crowding down to its harbour. The village offers excellent local amenities and the area is renowned for its coastal walks, quiet beaches and numerous golf-courses - Kingsbarns is only three miles away and St Andrews is only 20 minutes drive. A survey by Country Life Magazine of the "best places in Britain to live" placed the fishing village of Crail in fifth place - and the only place in Scotland to make the top ten.FISHING VILLAGES & BEACHES: As well as in Crail itself, picturesque harbours and/or clean, safe beaches can be found in Pittenweem, St Monans, Elie, Kingsbarns, St Andrews, Lower Largo and Anstruther, the last with it's well-renowned fish & chip shop.
