Motorcycle Touring in the Kingdom of Fife
Fife, famous to many motorcyclists for
Knockhill Race
Circuit, and famous to the rest of the general public for St Andrews and Golf.
Yet, for the touring motorcyclist it is also home to an abundant Scottish
History which is available for open viewing from your favourite machine! With
Several Castles dating from the 12th Century, many which are open
to the public and maintained by the National Trust, this is an ideal
opportunity to get in some riding with the excuse of a history lesson thrown
in. Some of the castles listed below are home to museums and historical
information whilst others are ruins, in which you may walk the grounds should
you be in need of a break.
Why not start or stop your tour at Knockhill and then
wind your way across the history Fife has to offer.
Places to visit on a coastal theme include the fishing
villages at Crail, Elie, and Anstruther, and of course you should not miss out
on the opportunity to be swept back into the 17th Century with a
visit to Culross.
If you need a day off from the riding, there are plenty
of things to do and see depending on your base. Below we have listed a few
entertainment and leisure ideas for those non-biking days!
