Salmon Cottage nestles down at the natural harbor in the sleepy village of Kinghorn on Fife's east coast. A few short steps from the cottage door will take you to the beach and onto the sea shore of the magnificent Firth of Forth.
Adventurous sailors might like to visit Inchkieth Island for fishing trips, picnics or just to explore this rugged island once known as the "Island of Horses".
Now that the industries have long since gone from the area and times are quieter the old town and shoreline have been declared a conservation area and designated a site of important scientific interest for watching and studying the rich and varied wildlife. Seals, porpoise and many different sea birds including Eider ducks, Guillemots, razorbills, Great Kites and Gannets inhabit the area and rare flora and fauna are to be found all along the Fife coastal path route.
The parish church with its large Venetian window is a short stroll from the cottage and the ancient ruins and old stones that lie within the court yard were first mentioned in an ancient charter that dates from 1232. The nearby King Alexander 3rd of Scotland memorial tells how, one dark and stormy night in 1286 the King's horse was separated from his companions and he plunged to his death from the cliffs above while riding to be with his young bride.
Kinghorn and the surrounding areas are steeped in history and folklore and tales abound of Viking, Danish and Norwegian raids on Scotland's East coast. Viking remains were unearthed when the RNLI lifeboat station was built nearby.
