Occupying the fertile land between the banks of the Tay and Forth rivers, the ancient Kingdom of Fife has played a pivotal role in Scotland's history. St Andrews, famous today as the home of golf, was a major religious and academic centre from the middle ages onwards. Along Fife's beautiful coastline, the fishing villages of the East Neuk are a vibrant reminder of the area's links with the sea. Further west, lie Dunfermline, an ancient capital of Scotland, and the palace that was called home by Mary, Queen of Scots
For ancestral researchers with a connection to the sea in Fife, the Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther is not only an interesting account of life as a fisherman in days gone by, it could also prove to be an invaluable resource.
