Shooting and fishing may be taken locally whilst the lovely quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk like Elie, Anstruther, Pittenweem and St. Monans are well within striking distance. There are good state primary and secondary schools in the area with independent schooling on hand at a number of highly rated schools, including St. Leonards at St. Andrews and the High School of Dundee.
