Gillian Tait 111 Places in Fife That You Shouldn't Miss Paperback Book

Fife is an ancient Scottish county, proudly known as the Kingdom. Its distinctive, selfcontained identity is summed up in the old adage Bid farewell to Scotland, and cross to Fife! A compact peninsula shaped like the head of a Scottie dog nosing the North Sea, it boasts magnificent approaches from south and north via the celebrated bridges over the Forth and Tay. Tourists flock to the worldfamous golf courses in the old university town of St Andrews. But Fife is packed with all manner of much lessvisited treasures, places of stunning natural beauty as well as fascinating monuments of every era, from prehistoric to postindustrial, testaments to its long and eventful past and richly diverse cultural heritage. You will discover a land where generations of the illustrious and the powerful, the humble and the hardworking have all left their mark, from kings and queens to miners and fishermen, from bishops, earls and industrialists to scholars, artists and sportsmen to say nothing of the internationally famed Fifers whose legacies have changed history. This book will introduce visitor and native alike to a whole host of unexpected and contrasting sites and sights that celebrate the delightful otherness of this unique little Kingdom. | Gillian Tait 111 Places in Fife That You Shouldn't Miss Paperback Book
