Situation

Cellardyke is located to the east of the Anstruther and to the south of Kilrenny in the heart of the East Neuk of Fife. The modern name of Cellardyke is believed to have evolved from Sillerdykes, a reference to the sun glinting off fish scales which were encrusted on fishing nets left to dry in the sun. Fishing has always been an important part of the community with the harbour built in the 16th century and then re-built in 1829-31. There is a range of traditional housing and facilities includes bar and restaurant and bakers.

Nearby, Anstruther was also formerly a bustling fishing village, it is the largest of the string of picturesque settlements nestled along this coveted section of the Fife coastline. It is well-appointed with local amenities to cater for daily requirements including a wide range of shops, banks and professional and business services. Local primary and secondary education are available within the town itself, including Waid Academy, a well-regarded High School, which is set to benefit from a redevelopment scheme which will incorporate wider community facilities. Private schooling supplements this offering, with St Leonard’s in St Andrews and the High School of Dundee slightly further afield.


Meanwhile, the prosperous tourist economy within the East Neuk has encouraged the establishment of a plethora of eclectic independent stores, hotels, cafes and restaurants which supplement those of Cellardyke . Of particular note are the award-winning Anstruther Fish bar and The Cellar, which has been awarded a prestigious Michelin Star. Further local visitor attractions include the Scottish Fisheries Museum, Kellie Castle and Scotland’s Secret Bunker.


The diverse East Neuk coastline is a platform for a broad array of land and water-based leisure pursuits. There are many walks amongst the astounding scenery offering opportunities to discover unspoilt geographical features such as nearby St Fillans Cave and Billow Ness Beach. The nationally renowned Fife Coastal Path, which stretches from Kincardine to Newburgh, passes through Cellardyke itself. Elie, approximately 6 miles to the West, offers a Blue Flag beach and a recreational Harbour with water sports centre, as well as a popular links Golf Club.

Slightly further afield, St Andrews, the notable University town, is remarkably well serviced with high end retailers, restaurants and hotels and a wide range of leisure activities including a cinema. Famed worldwide as the ‘Home of Golf’, the St Andrews Links Trust alone maintains seven courses, with further well-regarded local courses in the surrounding area including Lundin Links, Crail, Kingsbarns, Leven and Anstruther itself.

The main East Neuk road; the A917 is easily accessible. To the East it follows round the coast to St Andrews, which feeds into roads towards Dundee and the North. On the other hand, to the West, it links into the A915, which meets with the A92 at Kirkcaldy, travelling onto the M90 and central Scotland’s arterial motorway network beyond.There are regular bus services from Anstruther itself, with commuter railways stations at Leuchars, Cupar and Kirkcaldy.
