This recently refurbished, ground floor apartment is part of a 17th century dwelling house, the renovation of which in 1963, (featured in the National Trust for Scotland's Little Houses book) won a restoration award from the Saltire Society. With harbour and sea views from all windows, the property is ideally situated for exploring the Fife coastal path, golfing holidays, visiting local sites of interest or simply relaxing. St Andrews is nearby and Edinburgh within easy reach. The village of Pittenweem, made a Royal Burgh in 1581 ,has many notes of historic interest including St Fillans Cave and The Tolbooth Tower (in which many of the famous Pittenweem witches were imprisoned while awaiting their fate) as well as picturesque wynds (lanes) leading down from the village to the harbour.
