Ritchie Collins Gallery

The Ritchie Collins Gallery sits in Kinghorn, a modest seaside town on the Fife coast that doesn't get nearly enough visitors. It's a proper working artist's space - the kind of place where you might actually bump into someone making something rather than just looking at finished work behind velvet ropes.

What you're getting here is contemporary art in an intimate setting. The gallery rotates its exhibitions, so there's no guarantee what will be on when you visit, but that's rather the point - it keeps locals coming back and means repeat visitors always have something new to discover. The space itself is unpretentious, which suits Kinghorn down to the ground.

This works best for art enthusiasts and anyone who fancies a proper wander through Fife's quieter corners. It's not a day-long destination - give it 30 minutes to an hour, depending on what's showing. Kids might find it dull unless you've got young artists in tow. Free admission would be brilliant, though opening hours and admission fees aren't confirmed online, so ring ahead before you trek into town.

If you're staying at Sandhills Caravan Park just outside town, the gallery makes for a morning excursion before heading to the beach or grabbing lunch along the seafront. Kinghorn itself has decent fish and chips and decent views across the Firth of Forth. It's a low-key addition to a Fife coastal break - not essential, but worth a look if you're in the area and the current exhibition catches your eye.
