Dundee to the north is a forty-minute drive and Edinburgh is approx. 90 minutes by car or an hour by train from Leuchars. 


Crail stands as the most easterly village along the East Neuk of Fife and holds the distinction of being one of the earliest Royal Burghs of Scotland.

Kellie Castle and Gardens, owned by The National Trust for Scotland, is also well worth a visit and is a fine example of Victorian style and medieval stonework.
