If you’ve been for an experience with me, whether it’s been fly-fishing, birds of prey or archery, you know that I am passionate about making sure you have a great time.

I’m now adding driver-guided tours to my list of experiences and I’d love to show you Scotland! Or, at least, some of the places in Scotland that I know and love. Let’s start with the East Neuk, since that’s on my doorstep…

What (and where) is the East Neuk?

The East Neuk (or ‘Nook’ or ‘corner’), is a strip of land in the north-east corner of the Kingdom of Fife. Along the coast, it runs from Kingsbarns round to Elie and Earlsferry taking in the seaside villages of Crail, Kilkenny, Cellardyke and Anstruther, Pittenweem, and St Monans. Inland, there are the hamlets of Carnbee and Arncroach and the hill villages of Kilconquhar and Collinsburgh.

Farming, fishing and foraging - food is good in the East Neuk

Although most famous for its coastal villages and seafaring history, the East Neuk’s inland strip means a focus on farming and food production, too: we’ve got farm shops and fishmongers, artisan bakers, and beer and cider brewers, a gin and whisky distillery, makers of jams and pickles cheeses, Michelin-guide restaurants, and everything from street food to cosy cafes. (If this is your thing, check out the Food from Fife site.)

With my half- and full-day tours of the East Neuk taking approximately 4 or 8 hours, I tailor the route and stopping points to your interests. I’ll create an itinerary to show you the best bits based on your wish-list and I’ll recommend the best places to grab a coffee or sit and have lunch, depending on the time available and your preferences.

A full-day tour example

As an example, on a recent full-day trip, I took guests to Falkland for the morning and then we visited St Monans (windmill and harbour), Pittenweem (the habour and cave, with a stop for a seafood platter), Anstruther (Shore Street and the Dreel Burn) and Cellardyke (harbour and tidal pool), before a wander round Crail exploring its beautiful marriage lintels, historic Church, Tolbooth, and harbour. We also called in at the Kingsbarns golf course to preview the location of my guests’ next-day activity.

Make the most out of your time in the East Neuk and let me take care of the logistics. I’ll manage all of the driving, parking, and timings of your trip, so that you can relax and enjoy the sights of this beautiful corner of Fife in Scotland.
