Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife is a shellfish port with a busy, working harbour. With an array of attractive houses and brightly painted boats bobbing in the harbour, Pittenweem, oozes character and charm. Pittenweem means "place of cave", referring to St Fillan's cave in Cove Wynd which was used by St Fillan as a chapel in the 7th century. A unique arts festival takes place annually in August and attracts a huge number of visitors keen to view an eclectic mix of local art. The artwork of over 30 resident artists and those from neighbouring villages is exhibited in houses and cottages throughout the village. Our favourite place in Pittenweem is The Cocoa Tree Shop and Cafe which sells a mouthwatering range of handmade chocolates and serves the best hot chocolate in the whole of Scotland!
