Strathkinness is a small village located 3 miles to the west of St Andrews in North East Fife.
A key characteristic of the village is the newly developed housing in the centre of the village.[2]
Children in Strathkinness and the neighbouring village of Blebo Craigs go to Strathkinness Primary School. Children of age for secondary school normally attend Madras College in St Andrews.
History
[edit | edit source]The assassination of Archbishop Sharp was committed at Magus Muir, to the south of the village, in 1679.[3][4][5]
