The property offers panoramic views to the south and over the coastline towards St Andrews. The town of Tayport offers excellent local shopping and social activities as well as a quiet marina and good local schooling, both primary and nursery. Kirkton Barns is also conveniently placed for larger towns, including Cupar and St Andrews, in addition to the city of Dundee accessed across the Tay Road Bridge. Kirkton Barns Farmhouse is in the catchment for Madras College, the local secondary school (St Andrews), and independent schooling is available at St Leonard’s in St Andrews and The High School of Dundee. There are frequent local bus services and good access to major road links, including the M90 and the A90. Perth, Aberdeen and Edinburgh are all within comfortable driving distance. There are railway stations at Leuchars and Dundee, with direct services to Aberdeen, Edinburgh and London. Edinburgh International Airport lies approximately 56 miles to the south by road, and more locally the regional airport at Dundee offers services to London Stansted. This is an area of particularly outstanding and varied countryside, with hill, wood, river, farmland and coast. The result is a fine choice for the outdoor enthusiast, with walking, cycling, sailing and riding all readily available. It is perhaps golf for which Fife is most famous, however, with numerous top quality courses in a comparatively small area including the world renowned Old Course at St Andrews, which plays regular host to The Open Championship.

  • Draft Amended Citation
    Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the conservation of wild birds (this is the codified version of Directive 79/409/EEC as amended) CITATION FOR SPECIAL PROTECTION AREA (SPA) FIRTH OF TAY AND EDEN ESTUARY (UK9004121) Site Description: The Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary SPA is a complex of estuarine and coastal habitats in eastern Scotland from the mouth of the River Earn in the inner Firth of Tay, east to Barry Sands on the Angus coast and St Andrews on the Fife coast. For much of its length the main channel of the estuary lies close to the southern shore and the most extensive intertidal flats are on the north side, west of Dundee. In Monifieth Bay, to the east of Dundee, the substrate becomes sandier and there are also mussel beds. The south shore consists of fairly steeply shelving mud and shingle. The Inner Tay Estuary is particularly noted for the continuous dense stands of common reed along its northern shore. These reedbeds, inundated during high tides, are amongst the largest in Britain. Eastwards, as conditions become more saline, there are areas of saltmarsh, a relatively scarce habitat in eastern Scotland. The boundary of the SPA is contained within the following Sites of Special Scientific Interest: Inner Tay Estuary, Monifieth Bay, Barry Links, Tayport -Tentsmuir Coast and Eden Estuary. Qualifying Interest N.B All figures relate to numbers at the time of classification: The Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary SPA qualifies under Article 4.1 by regularly supporting populations of European importance of the Annex I species: marsh harrier Circus aeruginosus (1992 to 1996, an average of 4 females, 3% of the GB population); little tern Sternula albifrons (1993 to1997, an average of 25 pairs, 1% of the GB population) and bar-tailed godwit Limosa lapponica (1990/91 to 1994/95, a winter peak mean of 2,400 individuals, 5% of the GB population).
