Strathkinness is a small village in Fife, Scotland, located roughly three miles west of St Andrews. It sits in the shallow valley of the Kinness Burn and is surrounded by rolling farmland and hedgerows, retaining a distinctly rural character while being within easy reach of the coast and the cultural life of the nearby university town.
Traditionally agricultural, the village now combines farming with a commuter population who work in St Andrews or in local services and tourism; amenities include a parish church, village hall and primary school and a busy programme of community groups and events. That mix of countryside access and close links to a historic town gives Strathkinness a quiet, community-oriented feel valued by families and those seeking a quieter base near cultural and educational facilities.
