Our Inspector's view
Craigtoun Meadows is only a short drive from the centre of St Andrews which has numerous tourist attractions, from historic buildings and harbour aquarium to the wide, sandy beach where the famous scene from Chariots of Fire was filmed. The site is set in part of the Craigtoun Estate and the holiday homes and touring area are separated by mature woodland and shrubs. The grounds are neatly kept and deer and red squirrels are seen regularly. The well maintained amenity block is centrally located and provides private facilities, including spacious showers and baths. The pitches are very large, fully serviced and are exceptionally well spaced. Four wooden pods (Little Lodges), in a lovely setting, are available for hire. St Andrews is ‘the home of golf’ so the numerous courses in the area prove a challenge for any golfer.

About the area
Discover Fife
This 20-mile wide peninsula between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Tay is an ancient kingdom, once the home of Scotland’s kings and saints. Despite its modern bridges it still seems curiously detached from the rest of the country. Travelling along Fife’s grand coastline reveals a fascinating legacy of caves, castles, and ancient fishing ports. Blend coast and countryside by following stretches of the Fife Coastal Path, or take an exhilarating trek in the Fife Regional Park.
St Andrews has a unique place in Scotland’s heritage. According to legend, the city was founded by St Regulus in the 4th century, who was carrying relics of St Andrew, patron saint of Scotland, when his ship was wrecked off the coast. Thereafter, the town grew as an important religious centre, eventually home to the largest church in Scotland, now an attractive ruin, with the powerful bishops wielding great influence over church and state. Today, St Andrews is famous for its university, the oldest in Scotland, and as a world golfing mecca. The Old Course at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club claims to have 15th century origins and to play a round on these hallowed links is many golfers’ dream.
