Small enough to possess its own unique character, surrounded by beautiful countryside and an easy commute to the sophistication of the city, Markinch has every credential needed to be the ideal setting for the lifestyle of today.

With a population of just 2,300 or so, Markinch neighbours the much bigger town of Glenrothes, the administrative capital of Fife. Markinch has a rich history, evident in the stone-built parish church, with its elegant 12th century tower and the old Celtic Stob Cross on the northern outskirts of the town. The terraces of Markinch Hill are believed to date from Roman times.

Sports enthusiasts will enjoy Markinch’s facilities for football, bowls and tennis. There is a long-established curling club (vintage 1842) and lovers of golf will appreciate the fine 18-hole course at Balbirnie Park, just to the west of the town. Of course Fife is the home of golf, and some of the best courses in the world are within easy reach. The East Neuk is also close by, with its picturesque fishing villages and ‘blue flag’ beaches. The prestigious Balbirnie House Hotel is nearby and offers excellent leisure and dining facilities.
The town has a number of traditional, independent shops, while minutes away in Glenrothes is the Kingdom Centre – a covered shopping mall with a wide variety of retailers including high street names, café bars and restaurants.

Markinch has its own primary school with nursery, while parents of older children can chose between a selection of secondary schools in the local area including Glenrothes High School, Auchmuty High School or private schooling at Dollar Academy. Glenrothes is home to Adam Smith College, and St Andrews University is only a 22 mile drive
from Markinch.
