Andrew Gullin's grave

You'll find Andrew Gullin's grave in the churchyard near St Andrews, a quiet spot that rewards a bit of detective work. He was a local man of some standing, and the grave itself is worth seeking out if you're interested in Fife's lesser-known history. The churchyard walk is pleasant enough - old stones, decent views across the fields - though you're really here for the story rather than the spectacle.

This isn't a destination that'll keep you occupied for hours. Thirty minutes, maybe forty if you're thorough about reading the inscriptions and soaking up the atmosphere. It works best as part of a broader church or graveyard crawl around the St Andrews area rather than a standalone trip.

Families might find it a touch dull unless the kids are keen on gravestones and local history. Walkers heading out from St Andrews could easily incorporate it into a longer route. History buffs will get more from it than most, though you'll need to do some background reading beforehand to really understand who Gullin was and why he matters.

If you're staying at one of the nearby parks - Craigtoun Meadows or Cairnsmill are your closest options - it's an easy leg-stretch from base. St Andrews itself is the obvious hub for a longer stay, with the university town's architecture and beaches keeping everyone busy. The grave is more of an add-on than a headline act, but that's rather the point with these quiet corners of Fife.
