The Balcarres Estate around you is home to some of Scotland’s finest countryside. Walk through ancient forests; cross rolling hills with dramatic views across the Firth of Forth; or stravaig along the two miles of pristine beachfront at Largo Bay. For those passionate about their golf, the newest addition to Fife’s famous golfing coast is not to be missed: Balcarres’ world-class Dumbarnie Links recently hosted the 2021 Women’s Scottish Open. The North Lodge is situated less than 15 minutes’ drive from the medieval town of St Andrews, seat of Scotland’s oldest university and site of romantic castle and cathedral ruins, internationally renowned golf courses, and a wide range of restaurants and traditional pubs. Follow the song of the sea and discover the charming fishing villages strung along the coast of the East Neuk. St Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail each have secrets of their own – but Elie, a mere ten-minute drive from North Lodge, is perhaps the most stunning of them all. Walk out to the iconic lighthouse and Lady’s Tower before rewarding yourself with fish and chips and a locally brewed ale at the legendary Ship Inn. Crail harbour is also worth a visit especially
