	Also yards from the cottage is the coastal footpath that follows the dramatic coastline and which offers the walker, the artist and nature lover endless opportunity to take advantage of this truly marvellous location. The resort town of Anstruther is just 30 minutes easy walk away and from there boat trips can be organised to the Isle of May noted for its colony of puffins and grey seals. The ancient university city of St Andrews with its sweeping sandy bays is just ten miles away. Circa AD 345 St Rule is said to have landed here with the bones of Saint Andrew the patron saint of Scotland. The cathedral was built in the 12th century, the university founded in the 15th century and in 1754, the Royal Society of St Andrews Golfers was set up. There are now five 18-hole golf courses, the British Golf Museum and dozens of quality shops, restaurants and art galleries. And Pittenweem is still less than an hour’s drive to the centre of Edinburgh or the highland gateways of Stirling and Perth.
