Other nearby courses include Ladybank, Elie, Lundin Links, Crail and also the many fine courses in and around St Andrews where The Old Course is a regular venue for the British Open.
State schooling is available locally with private schooling being provided at St Leonards in St Andrews, the High School of Dundee and several highly regarded schools in the Perth area.

DESCRIPTION
Milton House comprises a renovated C listed Georgian house offering beautifully renovated and extended accommodation over three levels extending to about 280 sqm. The house has been modernised to a very high standard but many of the original features have been retained including the impressive staircase. Most of the ground and first floor benefits from under floor heating with high quality Porcelanosa “Fire and Earth” tiling in the orangery, which as a feature well. The original reception rooms have Boen engineered oak flooring, whilst the hall has a tiled floor. Energy saving features include recently installed PV panels and double-glazed windows.
A key feature of the property is the substantial orangery which was built in 2012 onto the south side of the house with a pitched glass roof providing a vast amount of illumination and central connecting space for the house with doors off to the main reception rooms and kitchen as well as four sets of glazed doors leading out to the garden terrace. Split stairs lead up to a small galleried landing overlooking the orangery which has feature doors connecting to the main staircase. The kitchen can be approached from the orangery, or by a corridor off the side entrance and it has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and 14 Velux windows and it is a spacious room with glazed doors leading out to the terrace. The kitchen benefits from “Symphony” units with a central island, Corian worktop and an inset Bora hob with extractor system.
Situated either side of the central hall are a drawing room with a log burning stove set into an impressive fireplace (with mirror above) as well as a formal dining room with a stove and mirror above. A corridor leads off to a side entrance with a shower room off.
The first floor offers a further reception room (approached by double doors) with an open fireplace with sandstone mantel and mirror above as well as two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor offers attic accommodation comprising two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
