Scotland's Secret Bunker was a blast to explore! A bit overpriced for what it is, but totally worth it to see how this Cold War-era bunker is built. Amazing to tour the underground complex and get a peek into history - learning about its purpose and the secrecy surrounding it adds to the intrigue. If you're into military history or bunkers, it's a cool spot to check out. Plenty of parking around.

Visited today with my partner, we had a great time. It’s very surreal, so much history and original items on display. So strange being below the surface but you don’t even notice it. Cool tanks on display outside as well which was a nice touch. Very interesting!

This was an amazing place to visit full of insightful information about what would have happened if Nukes were ever launched in anger. Lots to see, not much to interact with but that's understandable. There is a small cafe inside with bright and cheerful staff, providing good quality hot and cold food.

The secret is out, some nutter has put up signs advertising the exact location! Well worth a visit to. This site is both fascinating and terrifying at the same time. Step back in time to the good old days when the spectre of nuclear annihilation loomed large over everyday life. Such wonderful memories. Give the cat a pet from me.

Fantastic place to visit. Very interesting, lots of information. Friendly staff. There is a cafe which serves food and drinks. It is underground and can feel a bit clostrophobic but it's a bunker so it will feel odd.

Oue first experience in a proper bunker. Absolutely great place to visit. It's really very interesting.

This place was really interesting. Despite the fact I'm not really into military history I still had a great and very educational visit. It's so much bigger than I expected and there's so many rooms. Some of the displays were a bit dated and could do with a refresh, however it wasn't a major issue. Look out for the two cats who live in the bunker - unfortunately we didn't spot them!

Our wedding at the Crail Community Hall was in August 2024 and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The hall is owned by the Crail Community Partnership charity, and it was lovely to know that our hire fee was supporting the local community and helping to preserve this beautiful space—not lining the pockets of a faceless company. The venue itself is fantastic. We had around 100 guests, plus staff, and there was plenty of room for everything we planned: a ceilidh, potluck, bar, pizza and an ice cream cart! The main hall was perfect for the festivities, while the back room provided a great space for serving food. We also used the garden opposite for photos and as a general outdoor space to enjoy the weather. We hired additional lights from Steven Page Lighting and sourced chairs and tables from Vintage Gathering—highly recommended, as it pushed the venue from lovely to absolutely magical. A big thank you to Jem and Geraldine, who were both incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the process. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming, flexible venue with a real sense of community.

We had our wedding at Crail Community Hall in August this year. Living in Crail it was important and special to us that we got married in our local venue. The hall was everything we wanted and more! Beautiful authentic space with lot's of room for eating & dancing! The dance floor is also sprung! The kitchen is brilliantly equipped for caterers with easy access. Crail is so lucky to have the community hall for events. If you're looking to embrace a village hall feel for your wedding day this venue is definitely for you! We were able to make the hall completely our own. The coordination process in the run up to the day was so smooth & easy. Any questions we needed were answered really quickly by Geraldine. Thank you for making our day so special! Love Emily & Hamish x

My wife and I got married here in the summer of 2022. It was really a magical venue for both our the ceremony and reception. We decorated the hall exactly like we wanted and the floor was perfect for a ceilidh at the end of the night. There is also a small garden opposite that was great for guest to chill in the sun and get photos 👍🏻

We booked the Crail Comminity hall for our daughter’s 18th. A fantastic size and layout for the event, with great kitchen facilities too. Great time had by all and a big thanks to the CCH team for keeping in touch and helping us throughout!

This was a great venue for our family get together. The hall has great facilities, a well equipped kitchen, 2 spacious halls etc. We booked both halls but mainly used the larger hall. The hall would make a fantastic venue for weddings with a lovely entrance at the front of the building, parking provision on the main road and on the side of the building. I give the hall 5 stars for the facilities this hall provides and brilliant service we received from the staff who were easy to reach during the weekend and helped with our booking.

Friendly people. Great venue. Wonderful gig with Beat the Drum.

Didn't go to this place was working at a wedding but the staff and facilities were very good

Lovely small distillery with a wide selection of whisky and gin to purchase, tours, food and more. Had a 3 x 25ml tasting from their core range with a 1-to-1 talk from one of the tour guides, Renè, which was very valued. Highly recommended visit if you're ever in the area.

Beautiful building inside and out, superb spirits, and fantastic tastings! I didn’t take a tour because I was short on time but had a wonderful experience with tasting four Darnley’s Gins. I was on my own but still given awesome personal attention. My tastings included trying them neat as well as mixed with either tonic water or ginger ale. I couldn’t believe it was free to try them. Instead, I purchased several different sized bottles of both whisky and gin as gifts and even got a free glass when I signed up for their WiFi (thank you!). I also found out they ship to 39 U.S. states so I’ll always be able to have it at home. I’m so glad I decided to spontaneously add Kingsbarns to my itinerary!

Superb tour, very informative, I didn't know about the difference between Highland peaty whiskey and Lowland Whiskey. I realise I love Lowland Whisky like the ones at Kingsbarns. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We also tried and brought some gin, it was fab too.

2 stars for the cafe. Service was extremely slow. We ordered two take away coffees, which took nearly 20 minutes to arrive. They arrived with no lids as they had apparently ran out of lids that morning (we arrived around 11.30am). Cafe was not busy but one young female seemed to be left to do all the orders herself. Coffee was good quality when it eventually arrived.

We had a superb time at the distillery. The tour was insightful and our guide very knowledgeable. Whisky was delicious. Highly recommend.

Kingsbarns Distillery is a beautifully restored 18th-century farm steading located just a few minutes from St Andrews, in the peaceful rolling countryside of the East Neuk of Fife. The buildings were originally part of the Cambo Estate and served as a traditional farm courtyard and grain store for generations. After years of being unused, they were thoughtfully refurbished into the distillery, keeping the original stonework, timber beams and charming courtyard character intact. The idea for the distillery came from Douglas Clement, a local golf caddie who spent years working on the courses around St Andrews. He noticed that visiting golfers often asked where the nearest distillery was, and there simply wasn’t one nearby to visit. Determined to change that, he began the long process of securing support, planning permission and funding to restore the old steading and create a new Lowland whisky destination. The project truly came to life when backing came from Wemyss Family Spirits (also known for Wemyss Malts), an independent, family-owned Scottish whisky company with a strong reputation in blending and cask selection. With their investment and whisky expertise, Kingsbarns opened its doors in 2014, welcomed its first visitors, and began distilling spirit with the intention of producing a light, fruity, approachable Lowland single malt that reflects the landscape around it. Kingsbarns uses locally grown Fife barley, and their water source comes from an aquifer deep below the distillery site. Their whisky is typically matured in ex-bourbon casks and gentle sherry casks, which helps bring out bright orchard-fruit sweetness, soft vanilla, citrus freshness and a clean, easygoing style. One of their notable whiskies, “Dream to Dram”, is named in honour of the founder’s original vision finally becoming reality. The tour itself is warm, friendly and well-paced. Staff are excellent at explaining each stage of the whisky-making process in a relaxed and engaging way, without rushing. The tasting at the end is a highlight, offering a chance to experience the distillery’s signature style up close. The visitor centre is comfortable, well-designed, and includes a tasting bar and a lovely shop featuring distillery exclusives. Overall, Kingsbarns is a welcoming, peaceful and thoughtfully presented distillery that balances history, local roots and a modern approach to whisky. It’s a great visit for both newcomers to whisky and enthusiasts. A calm, inviting place with a genuine sense of local pride — definitely worth the trip if you’re in or around St Andrews.

Park the ev here, there is a charge place scotland charger. Dog walk down to the beach through the Jurassic Woods of Cambo Gardens full of ferns and fungi. Walk the beach and return for good coffee and cakes at the distillery. The Cafe is dog friendly. Then buy gin and or whiskey. Both are lovely. Grand! Love it. We'll be back.

Lovely garden, forest walk and cafe. Earlier in the summer the foliage and flowers are amazing. On this August day most of the garden has seen its glory, but it’s still a nice haven and lovely walk through the woods. It’s also a perfect stop for Fife Coastal Path walkers to have a break. The cafe serves very good food and their bathrooms are clean and easily accessible. Bonus for those without a car is there is a bus stop just outside the driveway.

We visit Cambo Gardens every summer, a beautiful place to spend a day. Lovely grounds to walk round with a beautiful walled garden. There's also a wooded walk that takes you down to a very clean beach. The cafe is always busy (understandably), food is nice with a good vegan selection and we've always found the service friendly. A really nice place to visit!

On a drive to St Andrews, we spotted the sign to CAMBO House and gardens and so glad we did! We ended up visiting twice!! Being disabled we managed to park right at the cafe and access to the gardens. This was fantastic. After some fabulous coffee and cake, we meandered slowly through the beautiful gardens. Full of woodland walks and a beach, this place was a haven for wildlife and gorgeous scenery. The golf course beside the house is very scenic too. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to see the house, only the back quarters but the estate is amazing. Well worth a visit. We will return again one day.

Well maintained gardens in a larger estate. Really enjoyed our visit and would love to go again to see more. Nice cafe on-site with outdoor seating for a sunny day visit. Plants, souvenirs, and produce for sale in the small shop. Highlight was the scented roses in the walled garden, beautiful!

Best prairie style garden I've visited. A fantastic choice of plants, and lots flowering at the beginning of August. Surprising number of Austen roses in bloom - I enjoyed trying each one for their perfume.

Really enjoyed our visit to Cambo Gardens for a walk, browse of the shop, cake in the cafe and a walk down through the woods to the beach. The gardens are lovely a full of a mix of plants and trees. The colour was still very good and the mix of trees also provided some autumn flair. The cafe was busy but efficient and the staff were very friendly. Overall, it’s well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

ANother visit here and this time we ate in the restaurant. The food is entirely vegetarian and although we are not vegetarian, we found choices that were excellent. Service was impeccable and prices were reasonable. This time the weather was beautiful and we also walked towards the beach but that can be a little tiring on ancient knees. You could probably spend a week here! Very diverse planting and lots of colour and texture. On a windy day, the swaying grasses were fascinating. Definitely a must-visit if you are in the area. A year later and it is still superb. The cafe serves only vegetarian food but what food! Mushroom pate was delicious, and both quiche and the ploughman's were excellent. Service was quick and efficient with lots of smiles and very good eye candy... We will be back again and again.

Had an evening meal here - not busy on a weekday evening in Feb. They have a small cosy bar with a woodburning stove, and a separate restaurant. Good quality pub food at reasonable prices, generous portions. Friendly staff.

We came in a bit bedraggled-looking from a long walk, and were treated like royalty here! Wonderful service, accommodating of dietary requirements, and tasty food. Best bean burger of my life!

We called in for a few beers after a long walk with the dogs and were made really welcome. Good crowd of locals in who made us welcome and fussed the dogs. Service was spot on and it was great to sit in a proper, proper, proper pub with a great pint and great atmosphere. Dog friendly too.

We've had an amazing experience at the Bar under the Golf Hotel. Tash is possibly one of the best bartenders I've met in my 10 years of world travels. If you're looking for the local spot, this is it. If you fancy a quality experience with an excellent atmosphere, this is it. You need to ask for a "Dirty Tash," if you're interested in exploring a local drink. We'll be back for sure!

Great food. Didn't try all of the menu but the seafood platter and the smoked haddock fishcakes special were delicious

We popped in for a drink after a walk around Crail. Old fashioned bar area. Seats were a wee bit uncomfortable so you couldn't spend long there. Ok for a swift one.

We didn't stay here only stopped for lunch, prices reasonable and the wine measures 👌🏽🥴😆

The restaurant provides the perfect setting to enjoy delicious food with friends and family. The staff are always very attentive. Fantastic cocktails and simply the best steak ciabatta in Scotland! 😃

This place is an absolute gem and we eat here on every visit to Crail. Wonderful menu that is regularly updated and great cocktails as well. The food is as good, if not better, than any fancy top city restaurant I have been to. Fresh, tasty and creative. I also love the interior - really fun decor.

Went to the Shoregate pub last week to listen to traditional Scottish music. It happens once a month. Musicians jamming, playing for pleasure not a performance as such. Very chilled. The place was packed - it was a lovely hot night in beautiful Crail. People were friendly. I didn't eat but this place has a great reputation for lovely food. I didn't stay in the hotel

We had a fantastic dinner at The Shorgate. The food was fresh, showed great technique and creativity. The fine dining service was perfect. Try not to miss this experience!!

We had an excellent dinner at the Shoregate Restaurant: the food is imaginatively designed, carefully prepared, beautifully presented and made with really fresh local ingredients: the best meal of our week in Scotland.

A gem of a restaurant, the perfect dining room happy people stylish people too just the perfect room great dishes, love the small menu. Keep it simple, sir. The best place in the neighborhood the best place in Saint Andrews. In Saint Andrews playing golf needs to know it’s worth a taxi ride

We ate lunch at the restaurant on a miserable rainy day. Everything, from the setting and the service, to the delicious food, was exceptional. I'm really looking forward to coming back.

Lovley place to sit and relax if u want a snack there is a quaint cafe and a lobster shack. Public toilets available. We went down to a small stone beach.

Very scenic spot. Not much to do except enjoy the views and if you happen to be there at the right time you might get a delicious lobster roll from the shack. It’s not open weekdays and only a few hours on the weekend.

The most easterly of Fife’s East Neuk fishing villages. The harbour is small and there is no public parking at the harbour side. Easy parking a short away in the town. Public toilets and direct access to the Fife coastal path and excellent beach next to the harbour. Limited but good choice of cafes and restaurants.

Charming little harbour backed by attractive houses, with a gallery and café just up the hill. Crail is the furthest east of all the villages along the East Neuk's south coast, and arguably the most attractive. The working fishing boats, unspoilt sandy beach and rugged cliffs give the harbour area real character. There's free parking in the village a few minutes walk from the harbour, and it's a great place to take a break if walking the Fife Coastal Path.

I've always loved the east coast of Scotland it's rugged landscape and coastal walks. Crail is a favorite and please don't hesitate if you fancy a visit. There are plenty of restaurants pubs a great places to eat,The Golf hotel is a must visit the food is delicious and plentyful (good old hearty Scottish grub)the staff are friendly and attentive, there is also a cosy pub attached and the Golf hotel is kid friendly. There is street parking and public toilets, it is hilly but still wheelchair accessible, the beach is small but fun loads of decent ice cream shops too. Go to Crail you will love it it's charm and warmth.

We were fortunate it was a sunny day, sat in the sunshine on many of the numerous benches. Tap allowed us to clean the dog after a beach run. Car parking by harbour and fresh lobster or crab in the harbour side shop

Beautiful little harbour not alot open on Sunday in November

The host and staff are super attentive. Our dog was welcome and even scored a treat. The bacon 🥓 😋 pancakes and maple syrup were delicious. Beautiful presentation on all food ordered. Outdoor seating is comfortable and offers a amazing sea view.

what a wonderful place! delicious treats, gorgeous art on display and we found the most wonderful souvenirs to gift to our loved ones at home. this little cafe is a must if you're in town.

We stopped at this cute little place our way around the coast and it was absolutely worth it! The staff are all super sweet and accommodating, the view is spectacular, and we had delicious scones + hot chocolate. We would love to come back and recommend this place to everyone 😍☀️

Beautiful little tea rooms in a very old building. Watch your head! There's an outdoor area and a gallery shop inside with all sorts of local goodies. We stopped here for drinks only so cannot rate the food, but the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. We had the table with the view of the sea. Staff were very friendly and menus are weighed down with painted rocks on the tables outside. It's a very cute little place!

Beautiful ciabatta with bacon and poached egg, beautiful location and view, nice tea and service. My huskies were very welcome and the fudge is delicious.

A wonderful little café & shop with a perfect view over the ocean. Very friendly staff. And: the cake was fantastic! Would love to come back!😍

Absolutely love this place! The staff are great and the food and drinks are delicious! Crail is the cutest town and this tearoom has the best views. Highly, highly recommend!

Beautiful little pottery in the heart of Crail. Loved the unique, handcrafted pieces – every bowl and mug felt like it had a story. Warm, welcoming staff and such a peaceful vibe inside. Picked up a bowl I absolutely adore!

What a place! A family business of 60 years, hand made and painted ceramics. Get something to take home to treasure for a life time! See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

A lovely little shop tucked in the heart of Crail. Well signposted, with lots of amazing pieces, which I thought to be reasonably priced. The most fascinating bit for me however was reading the process of making the pottery, and watching the crafters in action.

I simply adore visiting Crail Pottery. On arrival you will see the potters at work, the main shop is up metal stairs, quite steep but my 88yo Mum on left in the photo can still manage the steps. So many beautiful collections of pottery to view and purchase. I'm collecting two different sets and purchase more pieces on each visit. Highly recommend visiting Crail Pottery.

Lovely pottery and incredibly kind owners. I hesitate to advertise the kindness that they recently provided, fearing it may set unrealistic expectations, but my goodness, I was completely gobsmacked by their astoundingly generous and humble customer service. Such kindness is truly a rarity and it brightened my entire day.

their pottery is expensive, but it's all handmade in Crail and a great reminder of this beautiful coastal town to take home with you.

Beautiful pottery displays and shop. We found it by accident and we're blown away by the displays of talent!!! Would recommend a visit, definitely!

What usually brings me to Crail is the lobster shack. I have heard so many great reviews from Fife locals about the fish here so decided to finally give it a try. I have a couple go-to fish and chip shops so I am difficult to be swayed. Well, this one didn't disappoint and now is added to my chippy rotation! The area it's hard to find a "bad" one but this place definitely pars up with the big dogs. 💪 Maybeee even teetering towards the top because I am a sucker for small family run businesses. 😉 I may be wrong, but it seems like a wholesome, family working establishment. Efficient and friendly where everyone knows their role in the processing of your order. They have a couple tables to dine in if needed. They accept card but always best to pay cash if you can, it is better for businesses. *For those gluten-free, they offer it daily!* Now, the food. Just the perfect amount of salt was added. The haddock (2 pieces) had a nice golden color. Crisp with a good thickness. (See photo) Some places seem like they flatten the fish, butterfly etc. and too much batter. This was the perfect ratio. The chips were crunchy on the outside and still fluffy inside. Fresh peeled today, not bought in. Only downside is- the onion rings are frozen. I did ask beforehand and was given honesty. It is so hard to find a chippy that does fresh because it can be a nuisance. The onions are drippy, resulting in more batter falling off in the fryers. So I can understand why. Even the most famous chippy does frozen too. 🤷‍♀️ Superseded my expectations!!! 👏

Lovely like fish bar, take away or sitting in is an option. Arrived in crail late on Saturday night and they were open until 8pm. Very busy, wait was around 30-40 minutes however a we had a nice stroll around the harbour while we waited. Food was delicious.

Wow! Incredible fish supper. Best I’ve had in a long time. Yes there was a long wait, however, worth every second of waiting. Can’t beat a fresh, made to order chippy. Weather was nice so went for a stroll around the harbour to take in the fantastic views.

Was fancying fish and chips but on a solo trip with the dog so needed somewhere i could pop in and not queue for ages. Driving through Crail the parking space was free outside. Super friendly staff, relaxed and lovely place, would have sat in if i hadn’t had the dog. Food served freshly cooked, some of the best chips i’ve ever had and haddock was stunning, even though i’m usually used to cod being from Northumberland, i may be a convert. Can’t fault the place, and very reasonably priced too.

Hot, fresh, speedy, reasonably priced (compared to others in area). But best of all, very friendly, welcoming staff! 🤍 Preferred these by far, than one of the popular Anstruther fish bars, that took absolutely ages to serve, with smaller portions and slightly over done fish!. Well done guys! 🐟🍟

Second visit to this delightful fish and chip shop. Absolutely fantastic. Great food and service. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I’d recommend.

It's going to be number 501 review of Crail Fish and chips and it has to be 5 stars. Had four fish suppers and everyone loved it. Thank you for a delicious meal.

Amazing museum full of surprising Crail history with interesting friendly staff. Only thing missing was a King Creosote section 😁

Crail Museum is a joy to visit. So much history within the walls of the Museum. The museum is ran by volunteers who just simply have a passion for all things Crail. The volunteers are full of such interesting stories of this lovely village and the villagers. If you are looking for your connection by family to Crail, the museum is the place to start your search. If you are looking for more information on the base, the museum can help you and if you just want to get to know Crail, the museum should be your first stop. The gift shop has a new look which is inviting. Nice for the villagers or visitors to but a special item for self or as a gift for someone special.

Free to enter lovely wee museum highlighting Crails Heritage from its beginnings to its links to the fishing industry, lifeboats, golf (find out the difference between a niblick and a mashie) and of course the famous airfield. On entering, we were greeted by a lovely lady who offered to explain where everything was and what to see. There is a small souvenir shop for those mementoes to take home.

Absolutely fascinating museum, especially the room featuring the history of the Joint Services School for Linguists, where many father was posted in the late 1950s. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The airfield section was good to see the went upstairs had a look and found a area dedicated to the Masons ,geez this is a relic of the past ,surely this is outdated with all the aprons sashes ect , and there are photos on the wall of the churches in crail but surprise, surprise, not one of the holy trinity church, for the RC community, why is this?

Nice tour of Crail.

An excellent starting point for any visit to Crail, this small free museum has five rooms spread across two floors where you can learn about the history of Crail and its people. The displays are changed annually but usually include rooms devoted to Crail Airfield and to the history of the Royal Burgh of Crail, plus other special exhibitions on particular aspects of Crail - recent exhibitions have included the "Kingo Family of Weavers" and "Crail Shops". The museum also houses a small shop and tourist information point.

Very pretty Church with the Dead House located behind it. The Dead House is where they locked the corpses so they would decompose a bit before they were buried thus deterring the grave robbers.

Wonderful concert, although the initial piano recital was outside my music choice; outstanding pianist with a concert grand Steinway. Audience loved it. Second half was Brahms sextet which was beautiful. Wine served during intermission, no hot drinks. Fascinating graveyard, well documented. Part of Fife music Festival. Wonderful area.

Beautiful Parish Church. Congregation was friendly. Service was excellent. Weddings are held here quite often. Highly recommended.

Picturesque church with interesting history. Macabre building in grounds for protection against grave robbery where bodies were guarded by soldiers.

Beautiful church. Marjory the church custodian very helpful and full of knowledge

Nice little church

Lovely situation in the beautiful village of Crail!

Bit biased but this is my favourite place in the world. Been going since I was a kid and will continue to go til the end. Can't comment on other caravans but the site is nicely maintained. Crail is beautiful and the surrounding area has so much to offer.

The Balcomie Hotel was excellent for both food and service. The host is welcoming and staff are very attentive

As a caravan owner at Balcomie links caravan park I really miss the hotel.Hopefully it will be open soon after it's refurbishment.I am looking forward to a meal and a beer,it's something I really enjoyed previously. 😃😀

Love the place great views nice hotel next to it for a nice beer with friends

We stay there most of the summer and enjoy every minute of it.

Have my own static caravan at this park so relaxing and very quiet
