Founded in 2004, the summer festival presents classical, world and roots music as well as film, literature and art from locations along the picturesque coastal area of Scotland known as the East Neuk of Fife. Tucked away at the eastern tip of the ‘Kingdom of Fife’ in Scotland, just north of Edinburgh, the ‘East Neuk’ stretches from the fishing villages of Elie & Earlsferry to Crail, Kingsbarns and St Andrews. Once the heart of the east coast of Scotland’s fishing trade, the East Neuk’s sandy beaches, rich birdlife, coastal walks and rolling countryside, make it one of Scotland’s hidden gems and form the stunning backdrop of the East Neuk Festival – a unique marriage of beautiful place and wonderful music – curated and run by Artistic Director, Svend McEwan-Brown. Following the unprecedented events of the past year, and in keeping with the festival’s ethos of evolution, the East Neuk Festival hopes to take the very challenging situation imposed by the pandemic and turn it into an opportunity to move in new directions and seek different ways of meaningfully engaging with new and existing audiences in Scotland and beyond. The festival has always striven to be both local and international in its outlook, inviting the world’s finest artists from across the globe to its rural home whilst also commissioning and presenting work rooted and embedded in the local community. Over the past year, ENF’s online activities, including recordings made with guitarist Sean Shibe and violinist Benjamin Baker in Fife in November 2020, have reached audiences across the globe, and so in 2021 the festival will expand this digital offering and for the first time present a proportion of the East Neuk Festival programme online, making it possible for audiences across the UK and internationally to make a daily visit to ENF without leaving their home. The festival knows that its existing audiences enjoy travelling to Fife to watch varied events over the course of a day whilst also enjoying and experiencing the natural beauty of the area, and so it hopes to capture some of that magical and unique festival experience in four carefully curated films featuring performances from oud player Rihab Azar, violinist Benjamin Baker, Castalian String Quartet, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, guitarist Sean Shibe, The Tallis Scholars and pianist Llŷr Williams which will be released daily from 1-4 July at eastneukfestival.com. Each digital release will include contextualised editorial including features and interviews, offering both existing and new audiences a rich online experience of the festival. The Tallis Scholars will mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Josquin with a performance of his Missa Ave maris stella alongside music by Gibbons, Byrd and Tallis. The Castalian String Quartet will play Beethoven’s late String Quartet No. 15, Op. 132 alongside Janáček's The Kreutzer Sonata whilst Llŷr Williams will perform Chopin’s 24 Préludes, Debussy’s Reflets dans l’eau, and Mozart’s Sonata No. 13 in B flat major, K333. Additionally the films will include ‘reports’ from the ENF Retreat artist development programme, dropping in on the work being undertaken by Benjamin Baker and Sean Shibe as part of their ongoing residencies. These daily digital ‘festival visits’ will be available free of charge for four weeks after the festival with audiences invited to make a donation to support the festival as it prepares for a full return in 2022. BBC Radio 3, a regular presence at ENF, will in 2021 collaborate with the festival on four concerts. Ranging from Adès to Zacharias, the performances will be recorded on Saturday 3 July and Sunday 4 July for future broadcast, helping to bring the festival to a global audience and offering another outlet for audiences to experience the festival. Musicians from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and guitarist Sean Shibe will be joined by composer and conductor Thomas Adès who, in his first visit to the festival, will lead musicians through a performance of two of his works – Court Studies from ‘The Tempest’ and ‘Habanera’ from The Exterminating Angel – along with music by Poulenc, De Falla, Janáček and the UK premiere of Francisco Coll’s Turia for ensemble and solo guitar. Pianist Christian Zacharias returns to Fife to perform a programme of Bach, Haydn and Schubert’s Sonata in G, D894 – a work he performed by candlelight in his first ENF recital in 2005. The Castalian Quartet pair Beethoven’s early string quartet (No. 3, Op.18) with Dvořák’s final string quartet (No. 14, Op. 105), whilst violinist Benjamin Baker and guitarist Sean Shibe, both currently embarking on ENF Retreat residencies, will perform as a duo for the first time in a programme that will include Bach, Cage, Piazzolla, Pärt and Steve Reich. At present the festival is unable to offer tickets to these recordings but should it become possible to invite an audience, the festival will make event details and tickets available. As well as opening up the opportunity for new audiences to enjoy and experience the 2021 festival online and on the radio, the festival will be keeping its feet firmly on the ground in Fife with open air pop-up performances and installations which promise to add a vibrant festive air to the East Neuk this summer. Audiences will be invited to brave the Scottish weather for some al fresco live music including a brand new ‘Band in a Van’ programme which will see ENF’s customised van, complete with pop-up stage and musicians, stopping off throughout the area’s fishing villages and stunning countryside to give free and live performances of classical, roots, jazz and traditional music on the streets of the Neuk. Further details will be announced in the coming months, in line with Government guidelines. The festival will also return to the beautiful grounds of the National Trust for Scotland’s Kellie Castle in Pittenweem to install an immense labyrinth cut into the grass of its wildflower meadow. The large-scale installation will be inspired by the contours of the route of the Fife Coastal Path and is the latest in a series of ENF art projects which celebrate an aspect of local history and community including the 2019 Drying Green, inspired by the traditional drying greens still be found in most villages in the East Neuk. The festival hopes the labyrinth, designed to allow whoever walks it to enjoy a moment of quiet reflection, will also provide a festive space for festival- goers, becoming a maze and playground for all ages – if government guidelines allow – and form the backdrop to informal and fun family friendly music and activities including pop-up concerts. The 2021 ENF will also see the return of the stunning sand drawings created by Sand In Your Eye team Jamie Wardley and Claire Jamieson which promise to offer an eye-catching element to the festival’s on the ground activity. Further details of all outdoor events will be announced in the coming months.

  • The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan
    The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan This sundial trail starts from the Forth Road Bridge (the main A90 road from Edinburgh) which spans the River Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry and is only a few miles from Scotland’s capital city. It ends in St. Andrews, the home of golf where another sundial trail is available (the St. Andrews Sundial Trail). St. Andrews now of course is almost as famous in some quarters for being the place where Prince William and Kate Middleton first met at the University in the town. Another sundial trail is available for the return journey which takes a different route back to your starting point at the Forth Road Bridge (the North Fife Sundial Trail). The East Neuk Sundial Trail takes the scenic (and longer and much slower) coastal route to the East Neuk of Fife (neuk is an old Scots word for corner) via Inverkeithing, Aberdour, Burntisland, and the fishing villages of Elie and Crail and then on to St. Andrews. A car will be needed and a full day is required. The journey to St. Andrews is approximately 53 miles and around 2½ hours driving time from the Forth Road Bridge plus stopping and viewing times. There are eight sundials at six locations on this route plus four options to see another five sundials. These options are identified in the text. If you are doing all three trails mentioned above and using this trail as the return leg from St. Andrews, you will obviously have to reverse the directions.

RECYCLING CENTRES IN EAST NEUK There have been various issues since March 2020, due to lockdown with people accessing recycling centres in our area. Particularly with people who do not access to a computer to be able to book times, the elderly in particular and Fife council’s refusal for pick ups, larger vehicles, vans and trailers to be allowed in to drop off rubbish. Councillor Holt stressed the difference between our area, being largely rural and agricultural compared to cities to Councillor Vettraino. She also stressed that we have one of the largest proportion of over 85’s in our area who have needs to be addressed regarding the above topic and especially need further help during covid. Councillor Vettraino advised that trailers, some pickups are now allowed to use the recycling centres. White goods can now be unloaded, as well wood. Rubble cannot be unloaded. AirBnb rubbish is counted as commercial so they should not be using facility. Question was asked whether the recycling centre at Pittenweem could change its opening times, Councillor Vettraino to check. 2.

We’ve always observed ‘half-term’ if we can, because of the school holiday, and now it’s because of our grandchildren having the same. This has caused me to ponder again the concept of ‘terms’. It’s the seasonal language of full-time education, of course, and is a patterning that is certainly deeply rooted in my personal practice. As a child I always rejoiced in the way that ‘start of term’ and ‘end of term’ provided solid, fixed points in the quest to locate myself in time and space.

    Extracts From inland. The latter contains the Parish Church and Manse, the Parish School and School-House, two farm houses with farm steadings, and about a Westwood's dozen workmen's cottages. It is not, properly speaking, a Royal Burgh, for so far as is known, it never had a Royal Charter, and it holds feu of a parochial directory subject superior, Admiral Bethune, of Balfour. It seems, however, to have exercised the privilege for the counties of of sending a member to the Scottish Parliament without any objections; and at the Union it was classed with the two Anstruthers, Crail, and Fife and Kinross Pittenweem, in sending a member to the British Parliament; and by the Reform Bill it was, for the 1862 same purpose, conjoined with these burghs, along with Cupar and St Andrews. The magistrates had the ordinary jurisdiction of Kilrenny Parish Including magistrates of Royal Burghs, until, in Cellardyke consequence of an error in a previous election, it was disfranchised in 1828; since which period, all municipal matters have been under the charge of This Parish, containing the inland village of managers appointed by the Court of Session. Kilrenny and the fishing village of Cellardyke, is on the south-east border of the Nether Kilrenny, or Cellardyke, consists of one County. It is bounded by the Firth of Forth on the main street running along the shore, eastward south, by the parish of Grail on the east, by Crail from the boundary with Anstruther Easter.
