After several hours of searching accommodation booking sites for somewhere to stay in Fife I finally settled on Glenrothes. Partly because I found a place to stay that seemed likely to be reasonable at a not too desperately high price but also because on the Welcome to Fife web site it says:
One of the best ways to get to know Glenrothes is to follow the Town Art Trail. Not only will this artistic route take you all over the town, you never know what, or who, will pop up next!

The Town Art Trail’s 172 public artworks include a family of hippos, a ring of dancing children, giant mushrooms and 13 carved concrete slabs arranged into a circle of standing stones. The Town Art Trail winds its way through several attractive parks, including Riverside Park, which has woodland walks, children’s play areas and beautiful gardens.

The East Neuk of Fife is very scenic abd worth exploring. Maybe swing by the "Secret Bunker". Interesting to see what was constructed during the Cold War.

@22Michelle Wish I could be there with you

@turbineman40 I wish you could both be there with me. But of course @22Michelle actually could be. I just have to work out how to seduce her and her wife. :-)

@ninalanyon And Culross is s very scenic and historic town.

@22Michelle I think I'm going to have a busy week. Especially if I try to get pictures of all one hundred and seventy two artworks in Glenrothes!

@22Michelle I've just looked at the map and your suggestions are about as far from Glenrothes as it's possible to be and still be in Fife! :-)

@ninalanyon Not so sure on Glenrothes as it was one of the post war new towns. I've been there, but can't remember much about it. Fife is not ond of my favourite areas, but that could be because it's where my wife, and therefore my in laws, are from.

@ninalanyon Try Falkland, very historic. Glenrothes is not the best place to start exploring Fife.
