·

Below the ridges of the Lomond Hills, the charming Scottish town of Falkland is famed for its royal connections and was more recently made famous by its appearance in the “Outlander'' TV series. The town is home to picturesque architecture, such as its whitewashed cottages; a handful of tearooms and one-off shops, and the 16th-century Falkland Palace, once the favoured countryside retreat of the Stuart monarchs. A prime location for walkers and wildlife lovers, as well as history buffs, campers have plenty of options in and around the town, from sleeping in shady groves on the grounds of an old estate to glamping on farmland.

Where to go

Around Town

Outdoor enthusiasts staying in the Falkland area can embark on a number of low-level walks in the nearby Lomond Hills Regional Park. History lovers and wildlife watchers alike will enjoy Loch Leven, home to the ruins of a castle associated with Mary Queen of Scots as well as an abundance of bird life, from osprey in summer to pink-footed geese in autumn. Basic tent and small van camping is available at the tranquil and family friendly campsite at Pillars of Hercules Organic Farm.

Markinch

Walkers can follow in the footsteps of monks in the small village of Markinch, 10 minutes south of Falkland. The village is situated on the Fife Pilgrim Way, a 65-mile (105-kilometre) walking route. The former estate ground of Balbirnie Park is another option for less-challenging strolls over its 416 acres of parkland and woodland gardens. Here, the Balbirnie Caravan Club Site offers plenty of grass and hardstanding pitches for vans, as well as a handful of tent pitches.

Cupar

Heading 10 miles east of Falkland takes you into the gentle hills and low-lying valley of the River Eden, which surrounds the picturesque medieval town of Cupar. Set on 90 acres of rural farmland, Ring Farms offers a peaceful camping experience in its tent, van and motorhome sites, as well as a handful of glamping pods.

When to go

With optimal weather and long daylight hours, the best time to visit Fife is from May through September: note that the summer school holidays (July/August) may bring crowds and booked-up spots. September promises cooler, though reasonable, temperatures and fewer crowds. 

Know before you go

  • Some campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before travelling.
  • If you choose to wild camp, be sure to adhere to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. 
  • Falkland is well-served by public buses and nearby train stations in Cupar and Markinch offer connections to Perth, Edinburgh and beyond.
  • You can find basic supplies in Falkland, but will find bigger shops in Glenrothes, 10 miles south.
