Things to see and do Cupar

This distillery is a place of pilgrimage for whisky lovers. After a 523-year hiatus, the copper stills at Lindores Abbey are back in operation. The distillery offers simple tours to understand everything about whiskey making and "apothecary experiments" around the Aqua Vitae, first created in 1494. The welcome center, in a cloister, is another asset of the place, as well as its café and its afternoon teas... whisky and champagne!

Falkland Palace is a magnificent example of a Renaissance palace. It was the country residence of the Stuart kings. You will follow in the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots in the royal apartments. The rooms have been recreated in their former splendour. You will discover that the castle is full of secrets, fascinating stories... and there is even talk of a treasure. The formal gardens are superb, as is the landscaped park, and the tennis court, one of the oldest in Britain, is a curiosity to see.

The Scottish Deer Centre park covers 55 hectares and invites you to discover Scotland's (and the world's) iconic wildlife in a privileged environment. Twelve species of deer are housed here, as well as a pack of wolves, otters, foxes, red squirrels and Scotland's famous wildcat. Guided tours are offered with a park ranger, as well as a "nose to nose" encounter with a deer, falconry demonstrations... You will also be able to watch the otters eat. And for yours? A small café is there for that.
