Quote: We were in Scotland for one week and got a taste of what the Scotish heritage and culture is like.

Kingdom of Fife, Scotland

Overview

Quote:

Glamis Castle - Queen Mums vacation home. It was absolutlely gorgeous and fully furnished. Sterling Castle was nice as well, but Glamis was better. We also went to a local distillery and saw the making and producing of whiskey. It was quite interesting. St. Andrews was quite a sight. On Sundays the course is closed off to players and people can walk around it or let their dogs run wild. William Wallace monument is a must. You get to drive through braveheart country and see where it all began.Quick Tips: If you don't try any other scottish fare - hagis is a must.

At first sight, we thought we were stuck out in the middle of nowhere. You are, but it was very nice and relaxing to be away from any major city. We had a 4 bedroom 3 bath guest house with a full kitchen and a sauna in one of the bathrooms. There was a castle down the road that had apartments/rooms in it as well.

Kilconquhar Castle Restaurant

Restaurant | "Kilconquhar Inn"

The restsaurant is a quant little pub that has a restaurant in the back. The dining room is small, but very cozy. The room itself was decorated very tastefully and the wait staff were very accomodating. The food was divine. The soups and main courses were delicious. They use fresh vegetables and fish. They offer local food at affordable prices. The beef pie was divine. It was made with potatoes and beef in a gravy with a pastry top. The beef melted in my mouth. We walked to this restaurant from the resort which was nice to see the countryside and to interact with the locals that happened to cross our path.
