With gorgeous views over the 18th hole of the Old Course and the West Sands, why not book a pod at The Deck, the beautiful rooftop space at the Old Course, St Andrews. What could be more special then sipping a glass of champagne as the sky turns gold, the very definition of a summer moment.

Head to the city of Dunfermline to see the cute 'Carnegie Coos', an eye-catching collection of brightly decorated coos in the gardens of Dunfermline Carnegie Library and Galleries. They have officially been put out to pasture in the gardens for you to visit. Perfect for a family day out, a sunny stroll, or simply snapping a great photo, the Carnegie Coos bring a splash of fun and creativity to the heart of this historic city.
Visit the beautiful historic village of Culross which doubled as the fictional town of Cranesmuir in the hit TV series Outlander. Visit the Palace and the Town House, wander the cobbled streets and feel like you have stepped back in time.

Embark on a Scottish field-to-fork experience, starting with a guided woodland walk at Tentsmuir featuring local drinks and canapés. Enjoy a five-course feast under canvas, cooked over an open Argentinian grill and showcasing the finest farm-sourced ingredients. End the evening with fireside petit fours and nightcaps before returning to The Rhynd.
Fife, especially Anstruther, is renowned for its delicious, award-winning fish and chip shops.

Please be aware that Anstruther can get very busy and parking is limited. Be considerate by parking responsibly.
Embark on a private foraging adventure, a tailored wild cooking session, or a one-of-a-kind coastal escape blending nature, nourishment and wellbeing with East Neuk Seaweed. Discover an experience that captures the essence of the East Neuk’s rugged beauty and rich coastal harvest.
On the Fife coast, seaside saunas and wild swimming offer a refreshing escape. Warm up in a beachside sauna, then step into the cool, clear sea for an invigorating dip—an energising cycle of heat and cold set against stunning coastal views.
