Aberdour, Fife

08 Dec Aberdour, Fife

This is a popular town famous for its Silver Sands.

There are boating and sailing facilities.

There is also a decent golf course.

But what makes it worth a visit on any tours of Scotland is Saint Fillan’s Church.

This is a real gem of Scottish Ecclesiastical architecture and often is described as a “mini cathedral”

It dates from the early 12^th century and was used continuously for worship until 1796.

It has since been carefully restored and is beautiful.

Nearby Aberdour Castle dates from the 14^th century, with 16^th and 17^th century additions.

Its earliest occupants were the Viponts, who were a Norman family.

It’s also worth seeing.

At Ireland and Scotland Luxury Tours we like our clients to see as many hidden gems as possible.

Aberdour is little known but offers a lot.
