Example Developments presents

Coastal bungalows in Burntisland, Fife.

A proposed single-storey release with the Fife coast on the doorstep. Walk the beach before work, catch a 35-minute direct train to Edinburgh, or spend Saturday heading for Aberdour through woodland, rock pools and waterfalls.

The development

A small coastal release with everyday life beautifully close.

Example Developments introduces a proposed collection of single-storey homes, shaped by the parts of Burntisland that can already be felt: the beach, rail link, local school, High Street, harbour, hill paths and access to the wider Fife coast.

Burntisland brings the lifestyle around the homes: beach mornings, independent High Street stops, good local schooling, Edinburgh evenings, and weekends that can stretch from Aberdour to the East Neuk without ever feeling like a big journey. Pop into the capital for shopping, the Fringe or a night out, then return to the quiet rhythm of the coast at the end of it all.

Development preview

Confirmed photography, plans and specification to follow.

Full scheme imagery and property information will appear here once available. For now, the early preview stays precise: a small collection of proposed single-storey homes in Burntisland, with buyers invited to register for first release updates.

Weekday rhythm

Walk the beach before work. Edinburgh before nine.

Start the day with sand, sea air and the Firth of Forth in front of you, then head straight into the capital. ScotRail lists direct services to Edinburgh Waverley, an average 40-minute journey, and fastest listed trains taking 35 minutes.

It makes the city easy for daily work, an unhurried dinner, a concert, a theatre night, or a Saturday spent being a tourist in your own capital.

A real coastal town

Beach, High Street, station, hill and harbour in easy reach.

Burntisland brings the everyday pieces together beautifully: a long sandy beach, the Links, independent and family-run High Street shops, the Beacon Leisure Centre, a historic golf club, one of Scotland's oldest Highland Games and The Binn rising behind the town.

The Binn is the wooded volcanic hill behind Burntisland: a local landmark and walking route with wide views across the town, the Firth of Forth and the bridges.

For buyers, that matters. The rhythm is easy to picture: coffee on the High Street, grandchildren on the beach, a train home from Edinburgh, and a front door that opens onto Fife rather than just another estate road.

Community life

An independent High Street, coastal traditions and a town with its own pace.

Burntisland has the kind of everyday texture that is increasingly hard to find: family-run businesses, a High Street made for small errands and chance conversations, the Links opening out towards the sea, and a beach that becomes part of ordinary life.

The Big Green Market brings a monthly pre-loved market to the town, with clothes, books, homewares, toys and practical finds given a second life. Alongside traditions such as the Highland Games, it gives Burntisland the feeling of somewhere with its own calendar, its own character and a little more room to breathe.

Weekend life

Waterfall on the Starley Burn beside the Fife Coastal Path
Saturday morning

Follow the Fife Coastal Path towards Aberdour.

Leave the car at home and take the coastal route west: wooded sections, Forth views, the Starley Burn waterfall beside the path, and Silver Sands waiting at Aberdour.

Sunday climb

Take on The Binn for the view.

The Binn is the extinct volcanic hill behind Burntisland. Climb it for a different kind of weekend view, looking back across the town, the Forth and the bridges before lunch.

East Neuk days

Elie in 41 minutes. Anstruther in 49.

Under an hour opens up the best of the East Neuk: harbour villages, seafood, beaches, golf and those Fife days that feel like a proper escape without packing a bag.
