Elite Falconry

Elite Falconry has developed its facility in Fife, to hold the most diverse and exciting flying team of birds of prey in Scotland. Housed on a 400 acre farm, the facility is NOT open to the public. This means, when you book and come for your birds of prey experience day, you will be handling, and flying these fascinating birds, in a private group, without the distractions and disturbance caused by general public entry. Further than that, the farm, which we manage as a conservation reserve, provides us with all the different habitats, that allows you to fly each species of owl, hawk, falcon, kite, caracara, vulture and even mighty eagles, in the environment that they have evolved for. You see them at their very, and most natural best. There is no sterile flying from person to person in a field! Woodland species will fly with us around the trees and hedges, open country birds will be worked on an open hill to maximise lift and visibility. This is a genuine, exciting, hands on insight into the lives and abilities of natures avian apex predators!

From watching White tailed Sea Eagles soar to having a Harris Hawk land on your gloved mitt, Owls catching a giant worm and many more birds, this was a fabulous experience. Becs was informative and hilarious. Much recommended.

Stenhouse Trout Fishery

Reviewed By craigluscar - Dunfermline, United Kingdom

What can I say this is one of the best family run Fisheries in the East of scotland . With a well stocked loch full of Blues and Rainbows ,with a home population of brown trout . I was on the water today fishing catch and release and caught 4 fish and lost one with plenty of offers . The loch is also a magnet for wild life with many birds resident on the loch . The bothy is open for a retreat in inclement weather and there is always teas and coffees waiting for you if you just want a blether . There is always good local knowledge from the bailiff about what is catching fish and where to go .

Pathead Sands

Reviewed By kristinvic2ria - Texas, United States

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,!
