This week we are shining a spotlight on the award-winning Wardlaw Museum, formerly the Museum of the University of St Andrews which has undergone a £2.1 million makeover and re-opens on 4th April.

Founded in the early 15th century, the University of St Andrews is the oldest of the four ancient universities of Scotland’s and the third oldest in the English speaking world (after Cambridge and Oxford). June marks the summer graduation ceremony for thousands of students who will celebrate the end of their studies in St Andrews.

Summer will soon be in in full swing and while some of us are dreaming about jetting off on a faraway voyage, there’s just as much adventure to be found closer to home.

If you're seeking the stimulation of poetic verse, the inspiration of a live food event or answering the call of the great outdoors, Fife has it all covered this month with a range of activities that can be enjoyed by the whole family. 

Each year visitors from across the globe visit Scotland to explore their ancestry. While searching records is an important and often initial element of the family history quest, seeing and experiencing Scotland first hand is one of the most exciting parts of the process.

If you are visiting us in June and haven't experienced a Highland Games, there are several taking place in Fife this month.

We caught up with Gavin Aitken at Rufflets for some advice on Scottish whisky and to find out what makes it the best.
