Sightseeing

This castle has seen bloody sieges, a cardinal hung upside-down from the walls, bishops trapped in dungeons, Kings trying to tunnel out...John Knox himself rowing away in the slave galleys...bloody, beastly and in a beautiful setting -- go see, and go shudder at the bottle-cell.

Scotland's only 5* arts venue, weird but true stat. Performances don't always reflect this (for consistently good productions see Dundee Rep and Edinburgh festival/theatres, Glasgow, even Perth), but sometimes you can catch a falling star. StAnza, the poetry festival, is hosted here, for instance, with world-class poets - first week of March every year. Check for this and other listings at http://byretheatre.com

We say it's a shop, but it's almost an emporium: the owners opened it just a few years ago with the simple philosophy of keeping our great produce local instead of seeing it shipped all over the globe, and it's just got better and better. First brace yourself a tad, because it's not going to be as cheap as the supermarkets, but with good reason: shop here, eat inside or -- better still -- get a sizzling ribeye and truffle chips in the busy steak barn. We're huge fans http://www.balgove.com

The kind of local cinema you just don't get anywhere any more. Does run NT Live performances, Live from the Royal Opera/Met etc as well as the standards (not an art cinema, for that check out the DCA). Excellent popcorn, and for some reason the ticket machine has an Aussie voice.

This could have gone into restaurants as it's a good family eating joint, but it has such a good walk attached via the Elie cliffs and the point (you can sometimes see dolphins here) that we always categorise it under walks. In an area curiously bereft of decent pubs, it's a walk with a really good one, and lunch or a drink attached.
