We love going along to the art galleries and library, the staff are lovely, bookbug is fantastic, Lauren is brilliant and we loved the singing and dancing as well as Lauren’s fun socks hehe. There is always something for the kids to do, the explorer expedition is amazing, there is also a kids area in the galleries upstairs where we draw, make stick people, shapes, and wooden flowers, the kids hunt for clues to win stickers or a treat, the library is fab too we spend at least an hour in the library each visit, and we always get to take away a great selection of books. Parking is good, lifts available, cafe and a lovely memorial garden too.

Great park. We go there frequently for walks or with the grand children. The park is part of the coastal walk with old walls and lookout points over the sea. Good play area but some parts have been damaged by the usual teenage bawheids who frequent the park at night. Great tree and shrub varieties throughout. Great walk to Dysart harbour and picturesque views of the harbour which have been painted by many artists over the years. Clean and very well maintained park. Well worth a visit.

Fab park that caters for all ages, great pond with ducks and swans, a lovely walk which we do with our dogs on a regular basis, can stick to the paths or be a bit more rural and head through the trees, great wee statues carved from wood, kids love finding these. Beautiful gardens just to sit and admire or read a book.nice play park area for kids and a skateboard park for the teenagers

This is a very pretty beach. There is lots of free parking and easy beach access. The true standout of this location is all the sea glass and worn smooth pottery fragments that wash ashore! I met the nicest man on the beach who noticed my delight and shared a bit of town history. It seems over a hundred years ago there were two glass factories located in town. These factories would just dump unwanted glass into the sea, it was much the same for the pottery factory. Well over a hundred years later this beautiful sea glass is still washing ashore! It's remarkable! Beachcombing is elevated to an art! Literally,!
7. Wemyss Caves
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 18 reviews
Come and see the largest collection of Pictish carvings anywhere - still in the place they were made over 1,500 years ago. Located on a dramatic stretch of Fife coastline overlooking the Firth of Forth, the Wemyss Caves are home to over 50 inscribed symbols, animal figures and a depiction of an early medieval boat. The caves also house several crosses carved by the first Christian missionaries to visit the area and on the cliffs above sit the remains of medieval Macduff Castle, once home to the Earls of Fife. Guided tours are available every Sunday from April to September from the Visitor Centre and Museum in the village of East Wemyss. See the website for more details and to book.
