Pittenweem

Pittenweem is a picturesque Scottish fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, dating back to medieval times. The name derives from Pictish and Scottish Gaelic and means “the place of the caves”, referring to St Fillan’s cave.

According to Charlie Flinders, it has the best fish and chips in the world.

Pittenweem hosts one of the most-loved art festivals in Scotland, attracting about 20,000 visitors over eight days each August. Many artists have re-discovered the charms and the light of the area, and have moved to the village, creating a vibrant artistic community. Makes me want to visit!
