Homecoming Scotland events in Fife........leave you breathless

What do you think of when you think of Fife?
You may already know that Fife has a global reputation with St Andrews as the home of golf and Dunfermline, the ancient capital of Scotland.  However, did you also consider quaint harbours, woodland and open grass areas, historic villages, miles of beautiful coastline and blue flag beaches, stunning public parks and lakes, modern town centres, historic properties, castles, palaces and estates.
 
We can also proudly boast of being the birthplace or home of multi-millionaire and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, world famous economist Adam Smith and, more recently, musicians KT Tunstall and the Proclaimers, renowned artist Jack Vettriano OBE and Hollywood icon Dougray Scott.

All this and over 6,000 events and festivals throughout the year, every year, ranging from outdoor opera to bespoke arts festivals.

You may be surprised to know that Fife stages:

• The Links Market - the longest street fairground in Europe
• The British Superbike Championship
• StAnza - Scotland's Poetry Festival
• Scotland's Festival of Stewardship
• Scotland's Motorfair
• RAF Leuchars Airshow
• The 2nd oldest Highland Games in the World

Whatever you are looking for you are sure to find it in the Festival Kingdom of Fife.  Bordered by the Tay with its excellent salmon fishing to the north and the Forth with its iconic bridges to the south there is no place in Scotland quite like it.
