There is a 29% leakage of food retailing from the St Andrews area, and a 75% leakage on non-food retailing. This indicates a high level of energy usage for shopping and probably some leisure trips to larger centres outside the area. Dundee and Glenrothes are, however, close to the main centres of population within the area.

Accessibility by public transport to key centres
The map shows accessibility to town centres and public transport interchanges. In East Fife these are: Cupar, St Andrews, Ladybank station and Leuchars station.
The lightest pink is the highest level of accessibility. The darkest red is the lowest. White areas are not served by public transport services within walking distance.
The map shows accessibility to centres within Fife only – as a result the Tay Bridgehead is shown as an area of low accessibility.
