Fife Travel
Getting Around
The main transport route through the region is the M90 which runs from Edinburgh north to Perth and skirts Fife's western boundary. A more scenic alternative is the beautiful coastal route, which branches east off the M90 just north of the Forth Road Bridge as the A921 to Kirkcaldy, the A955 from there to Leven and the A917 from Leven through the East Neuk villages and on to St Andrews.
The coastal route also affords easy access into the centre of Fife. The Tay Road Bridge leads south from Dundee into Fife, via the A914 and A919 southeast to St Andrews and the A92 southwest to Glenrothes and Kirkcaldy. It meets the A91, which runs east from the M90 and gives access to Falkland Palace, the Scottish Deer Centre, Cupar and also St Andrews.
The train line north from Edinburgh follows the coast as far as Kirkcaldy and then cuts inland towards Dundee, stopping at Cupar and Leuchars. From Leuchars a bus can be taken to St Andrews. It is possible to explore the peninsula using public transport, but it can be a slow and time-consuming business as buses to the more remote parts are few and far between.
