Local Area - Touring
Fife, famous to many motorcyclists for Knockhill Racing Circuit,
and famous to the rest of the general public for St Andrews
and Golf.
 Yet,
for the touring enthusiast it is also home to an abundant
Scottish History which is available for open viewing from
your favourite machine, whether car or on two wheels! With
several castles dating from the 12th Century, many which are
open to the public and maintained by the National Trust, this
is an ideal opportunity to get in some great touring with
the excuse of a history lesson or two thrown in. Some of the
castles listed below are home to museums and historical information
whilst others are ruins, in which you may walk the grounds
should you be in need of a break.
Knockhill is home to the British Superbikes and also many
trackday organisers run day or two day track events here.
Very exciting.
Places to visit on a coastal theme include the charming and
characterful fishing villages at Crail, Elie, and Anstruther,
and of course you should not miss out on the opportunity to
be swept back into the 17th Century with a visit to Culross.
