If you are looking to stay in a Scottish castle, Birkhill Castle is a fabulous choice for a family vacation with all the wonders that Scotland’s Kingdom of Fife has to offer with beautiful scenery, walks, a private beach and plentiful outdoor activities and local culture. This is your highland retreat for the length of your stay with its own heated outdoor swimming pool and tennis court.  A Scottish sporting experience can be organized by us during which you can enjoy archery, air rifle shooting, axe throwing and cross bow firing amongst other activities. There are also beautiful walks into the hills, up to 100 local golf courses (within 40 minutes drive) from which to choose from, horse riding and mountain biking.

For those who are not so keen on the outdoors, there is plenty of shopping (Edinburgh), fine dining and whisky tasting at some of the local distilleries.  The charming fishing villages of the East Neuk of Fife have some excellent fish restaurants to enjoy.

Birkhill Castle being only 1 hours drive from Edinburgh means that day trips into the capital can be arranged along with our wonderful guide who will take you to all the important historical parts of the city and tell you all about the history of Edinburgh. Visits to Edinburgh Castle, art galleries, theaters and other places of interest can all be arranged and during August there is the Edinburgh International Festival to experience along with the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
