Whether enjoying a cup of coffee or sampling the dish of the day from our inspired menu, you can reminisce of days gone by while enjoying the outstanding views over one of the oldest harbours in Fife. Watch the fulmars as they put on their nesting display in the surrounding cliffs. Keep an eye out for the seals as they bob in and out of the harbour waters, relax and enjoy the ambience of the new Harbour Bistro.

Day I Found It

We started off at Ravenscraig Castle at Kirkcaldy. The views across the Forth were spectacular. Ambling through the park was bliss with wooded paths hugging the shoreline. The children "discovered" little coves where ancient pirates hid their stashes. When we reached the coved entrance to Dysart, what a delight! A painters paradise. If you like home baking, you'll love the Harbourmaster's House. Loads of choice and how we all tucked in. Guess what? We even bought a painting there and money left over for another round of scones. That was my day to remember.
