Holiday Cottage St Andrews

Holiday Cottage St Andrews

St Andrews was granted a royal charter in 1140. The town developed as a centre of trade, its merchant burgesses building for themselves fine houses with elegant forestairs, crow-stepped gables and pantiled roofs now well known as a symbol of Fife. When the town of St Andrews declined and lost trade, the castle and cathedral fell into ruin.

Now preserved and listed the Cathedral and nearby St Andrews Castle are an interesting day trip. Stop for lunch or dinner at one of the many fine restaurants and cafes St Andrews has to offer.

Stay nearby at Lower Largo

St Monans is a pretty fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, situated between Elie and Pittenweem.Originally known as Inverin, Inverie or Inweary, its present name is derived from a shrine to St Moineinn established on the shore by early Christian missionaries. Great for a visit when village hopping or staying near St Monans in self catering holiday cottages.
