    Had a great tour around the distillery with Neil this morning. He was very interesting and informative. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions very well. Would definitely recommend this tour, and the lovely cafe afterwards.

    We took a day trip to St. Andrews and had a quick pop in to see the most famous Bridge in golf. I have seen it on TV but standing on the bridge in person was awesome.

    Plenty of time to walk around the town and visit the greens for a little putting. We loved trying to search out all the charity Scotties as well.

    St Andrews West Sands Beach is a very beautiful beach, a great place for a relaxing long walk by the sea. I will definitely go there again when in St Andrews.

    Brilliant day out for the family. A beautiful park with lots to do for the children. The train and tractor were great fun. The staff are so friendly and kind.

    Went to this lovely place to see the snowdrops in bloom. They have over 200 varieties and everything is well labelled and well laid out. It’s such a tranquil place with plenty of opportunities to sit and relax or eat a picnic lunch. We opted to eat in their café. This was very busy but our order was taken quickly and arrived equally speedily. It was delicious! We both had a toasted sandwich which came with a ‘cup’ of homemade soup. The ‘cup’ was actually a small bowl. Brilliant value for £10.95 each.

    We took part in the Halloween Virtual Gin Tasting Saturday 31st October. Adam was our host. He was engaging, funny and had a great knowledge of the subject.

    The presentation of the gins was excellent and the tasting did not disappoint. This is an excellent purchase for any gin lover and made for a fun night in.

    This is probably the best virtual gin tasting there is. Can’t recommend this enough.

    This 2 mile long sandy beach is bordered with grassy dunes sprinkled with wildflowers, and fringed with intriguing rock formations - some of which are the remnants of a lush forest that grew here in the late Carboniferous period 310 million years ago. If you know what you’re looking for , plant and insect fossils and tracks can be found here, some in situ. It’s a designated Blue Flag bathing area, and the water is amazingly translucent in places. There’s a spacious ticketed car-park, public toilets and a snack shack, plus as it’s part of the Fife Coastal Path , you can stretch your legs for as long or short as you like.

    Excellent displays and information showing the development of the game overall and in St. Andrews. The book selection in the gift shop seemed very limited considering the depth of golf literature opportunities.
