Leith Public Library

Leith Library sits in the heart of this working port town, a proper community hub rather than a quiet reading room. You'll find it's a functioning local library - so there's a decent collection of books, computers you can use, and it's free to browse. It's not the sort of place you'd plan a day around, but if you're staying at Sandhills Caravan Park or Pettycur Bay Holiday Park nearby and want to kill an hour on a rainy afternoon, it does the job.

The building itself is nothing fancy. What matters is that it's genuine - locals actually use it. If you've got kids who need to burn off energy indoors, there are sometimes activity sessions on, though you'd want to check ahead. The opening hours are generous too: open until 8pm on weekday evenings, which is useful if you're camped nearby and fancy popping in after dinner.

Burntisland is just down the coast, and the library works as part of a broader Fife coastal trip rather than a destination in itself. Combine it with a walk along the beach, a visit to one of the local cafés, or simply as a pit stop while exploring the area. Don't expect cutting-edge facilities or exhibitions. What you get is a straightforward, welcoming space that feels like somewhere actual people spend their time. That's its charm, really.
