Fife, Historic council area in eastern Scotland.
The peninsula of Fife stretches between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, featuring undulating lowlands and the Ochil hills to the west.
The region held status as an independent Pictish kingdom and contained fourteen of Scotland's sixty-six royal burghs during the medieval period.
The University of St Andrews, founded in the 15th century as Scotland's first university, continues to shape the educational landscape of the region.
The administrative center of Glenrothes connects to Edinburgh through regular transport services, with multiple access points across the 512-square-mile territory.
Seven Scottish monarchs rest at the Abbey Church of Dunfermline Abbey, marking Fife's central role in the nation's royal heritage.
