Welcome to The Old Washhouse
Sightseeing
Falkland is incredibly pretty and will be known to fans of Outlander as the site of some of the early scenes. Falkland Palace was the summer residence of many members of the Scottish Royal Family and is well worth a visit. It's a National Trust property. You can walk through the village into Falkland Estate and that will give you access to endless walks through the woodlands and up to the Lomond Hills. It's incredibly pretty and it's where my daughter got married last year! There are lots of cafes and bars in the village as well as some really nice independent shops. I'm particularly fond of Vintage Quine if you want something a wee bit different in women's clothing.

Iconic Fife city and if you're a golfing enthusiast you won't want to miss it. It's about 30 mins by car from Auchtermuchty or 1 and a half hours by bicycle. A direct bus journey takes the same time but at least you can enjoy the view, enjoy a jolly lunch and not have to worry about driving home!

Bicycles, motorbikes, cars and buses
Buses exist but they're not as frequent as in cities. They are however a great way to see the area without having to drive yourself. Catch the bus along to Newburgh or stay on it to Perth.
Ladybank is the nearest railway station and you can get a bus from there to Auchtermuchty but again, check connection times.

People are friendly on the whole
Most people will say hello or at least nod hello if you make eye contact. If you're lost or in trouble you can safely ask people for help.
Hvað á að taka með
Clothes for all seasons & midge spray
Scotland really can have 4 seasons in one day no matter which month it is so bring at least one pair of sensible shoes alongside the sandals.
Definitely pack a jumper or cardigan as well as suntan lotion; don't be fooled, it can get burning hot and you will frequently see people with bright red skin who didn't behave sensibly.
Finally, if you're at all concerned about mosquitos & midges make sure you pack spray for both. Midges in particular are unavoidable and I have found Avon Skin So Soft to be the best possible repellent. For mosquitos, I'd use whatever you'd normally use.
