General Information

Location

Pittormie lies in the heart of north east Fife amongst some of the most glorious and unspoiled fertile farmland of Scotland’s most productive counties. It is within 4 miles of the beautiful East Neuk of Fife coastline with its sandy beaches, birdlife and fine flora.

Just 45 minutes from Edinburgh Airport and 15 minutes from Dundee, Pittormie is also just three minutes from Leuchars, the local private airport. In addition, its close proximity to the town of St. Andrews (five minutes via car) makes it one of Scotland’s best placed destinations.

Time Zone

Scotland is in the Greenwich Mean Time Zone, which is five hours ahead of (later than) New York. Daylight Saving Time is observed.

Climate

St Andrews’ climate is relatively temperate with moderate humidity and less yearly rainfall than most locations in Scotland, thanks to the mountain ranges to the west that shelter St Andrews from Atlantic weather systems. Winter temperatures can drop to freezing, but snow is rare and temperatures are generally coolly comfortable in summer and remain moderate through the rest of the year.
