St Fillian's Cave

Pittenweem has a secret – but it’s one everyone can enjoy. Tucked away in its streets is a cave which some say was where St Fillian lived in the 7th century. St. Fillian’s cave is a stunning example of a chamber carved by an underground river thousands of years ago through sandstone. Although it is dark inside, St. Fillian was said to be able to see thanks to a luminous left arm.

Pittenweem is still a working fishing village, with boats regularly landing a good catch. Further back from the three piers, the old houses, built hundreds of years ago, are still used to this day. Small, winding streets lead visitors on a tour of these buildings, many painted in bright and cheerful colours. Take a look at Kellie Lodge, a 16th century home where some say the Earls of Kellie once lived.

Testimonials

Just returned from a fantastic relaxing break at lodge 1 at Elderburn Lodges.
The lodge really is a home from home and the setup of the lodge is great for 2 couples having the lovely spacious shared central areas but the bedrooms are spaced well apart.
The lodge was spotless and well equipped and some of the little extras within the lodge were excellent.
The location is ideal for visiting St Andrews and the lovely Fife coast.
The visitors book within the lodge was full of reviews from returning customers and we would highly recommend these lodges and look forward to our next visit.
