Nota Bene
Quite apart from Fife being a golfer's paradise, recreational pursuits abound including fishing, clay pigeon shooting, falconry, water sports and off-road driving - to name but a few. For the less energetic, how about croquet on the lawn? In a broader context, Fife's winding coast and rolling countryside have much of beauty and of historic interest to explore - quaint fishing villages, stately homes, castles and gardens.
