Fife and Kinross

Anstruther fishing village

 Picturesque harbour, interesting architecture throughout village.  Informative and fun fishing museum for children and adults. Disabled friendly. Lifeboat station open some days. Small beach. Promenade walk along harbour. Seating available Lovely shops and boutiques in town. Good Fish and chips but expensive. Recommend nearby village for equal quality, better value.

Boat trips to Isle of May from harbour-very good value.
Town has some quite steep slopes from sea-front to town.
Interesting pubs, good reasonable eating venues for families.

St Andrews

Now run by the National Trust for Scotland, the old Royal Palace is worth a visit - as are the lovely gardens.
The ancient Royal Burgh of Falkland itself has restaurants, small tea rooms, craft and antique shops plus fascinating old buildings. 
For the more energetic on a fine day there are so many walks to be enjoyed. If you aren't fit enough to tackle the East Lomond Hill, head up the West Port to the Estate and let the children feed the ducks.
Alternatively, for little ones, there is a good safe play park along Balmblae with a shallow stream (burn) running through.

Elie windmill and saltpans

Go along the narrow roads through Elie village along the front to the old windmill and foundations of the saltpans where the sea water used to be pumped up and heated to produce salt for export.
Lovely uncrowded spot for a picnic with beautiful view of the Forth estuary. Rock pools for the children to explore.

On the other side of the bay is a harbour and a fantastic sandy beach for the kids to enjoy.

There a lot of people stay in the cottages for summer breaks just for the beach and view. Easily get to other coastal villages and St Andrews by car

Bit off the beaten track, so still a good place to relax.
