The Ship Inn, Elie
This lively pub with rooms overlooks Elie’s beautiful beach and bay, with a great cosy bar for when it’s cold and the beachside beer garden for when it’s not. This family friendly, beachside pub is smart enough but relaxed, in a Nantucket meets-Scotland way, with touches of tartan mixed with maritime memorabilia. They love dogs here too, who we are sure wouldn’t miss this trip for the world.
