Situation
Westfield Of Drumcarro is a gem, very quietly situated in a lovely private elevated position on the south facing lower slopes of Drumcarro Hill adjacent to Fife’s Pilgrims’ Way long-distance walk, just a short distance to the south west of St Andrews. The far reaching southerly and westerly views from the property are simply breath taking. Ancient and historic, the university town of St Andrews offers residents a superb mix of amenities and facilities and is renowned worldwide as the “Home of Golf”. The city of Dundee is some fourteen miles to the north with Edinburgh easily accessible to the south. Fife’s pretty East Neuk is nearby with its picturesque fishing villages such as Anstruther, Pittenweem and Elie, whilst the county market town of Cupar is a short drive to the west. Surrounding Westfield Of Drumcarro is some fine countryside and coastline with a lovely mix of farmland, woodland, river and hill ground. The result is home to an array of wildlife and provides an excellent choice for the outdoor enthusiast with walking, cycling, sailing and riding all readily available. There are many highly regarded golf courses in the area including the Old Course at St. Andrews and the Championship Course at Carnoustie, both of which regularly host the British Open – the event returned to St Andrews in 2022 for its 150th anniversary. Iconic courses such at Dumbarnie, Kingsbarns, Crail and Ladybank are also close by, and to name but a few. In terms of days out there are a number of good sandy beaches in the area including those at St. Andrews, Tentsmuir, Kingsbarns and Elie. There are several popular National Trust for Scotland properties nearby including Kellie Castle, Hill of Tarvit and Falkland Palace. State schooling is available locally with the new Madras College school due to open shortly in St Andrews. Independent schooling is provided at St. Leonards in St. Andrews and at the High School of Dundee. There are railway stations in Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank and Dundee with Edinburgh airport well within reach.
