Company information

Both myself and husband Allan love meeting new people from all cultures and backgrounds. I enjoy cooking. My hobbies include hill walking, cycling and love nothing better than a stroll along our lovely beaches and maybe a nice coffee in one of our many coffee shops in Town. I very much enjoy holidaying abroad and exploring new places. As a family we enjoy a wide variety of outdoor pursuits i.e. skiing, surfing, canoeing and my daughter and husband are a bit more adventurous, and enjoy Scuba diving and water skiing. You will always receive a warm welcome at Tarskavaig and my husband Allan is always keen to advise and point you in the right direction of some great adventures that our surrounding area has to offer, whether it be visiting the snow topped mountains for Skiing/snowboarding or soaking up the St Andrews sunshine, art galleries of the pretty little fishing villages of the East Neuk, and our ever growing Whisky distilleries in Fife.
