Summer’s a busy time for Burntisland. The beach becomes a hot spot whenever the sun appears, while July sees the annual Burntisland Highland Games on the third Monday of the month and a visit from a travelling fair. There are also guided historical walks courtesy of the local heritage trust, which sometimes go to Rossend Castle, once visited by Mary Queen of Scots (when a French poet was found under her bed!).
There’s also lots going on throughout the year. The High Street has many independent and family-run shops, while Beacon Leisure Centre has a swimming pool, health suite and gym. To stretch your legs, follow the Fife Coastal Path, hike to the top of the extinct volcano - The Binn - which overlooks the town or, at low tide, walk along the beach to Kinghorn. It’s only three miles - and you can get the bus or train back.
