No architect listed in St Monans yet.

An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.

Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.

In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).

St Monans is a compact fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, wrapped around a harbour and a 14th-century church that stands dramatically close to the water's edge.

The Auld Kirk, dedicated to St Monan, was restored by David II in the 1360s and is one of the closest churches to the sea in Scotland - spray reaches the walls in winter storms.

St Monans has a long boatbuilding tradition and the Miller family yard was one of the last wooden boatbuilders in the East Neuk before it closed in 2002.

The village sits on the Fife Coastal Path between Elie and Pittenweem and its windmill - a restored 18th-century salt pan windmill on the shore - is a distinctive local landmark.

Fife is a large peninsula in eastern Scotland, bounded by the Firth of Forth to the south and the Firth of Tay to the north - a geography that has given it a distinct identity and earned it the traditional title of 'The Kingdom of Fife'.

Dunfermline is the largest settlement and a former capital of Scotland, granted city status in 2022, while Glenrothes serves as the administrative centre and St Andrews is known worldwide as the home of golf and Scotland's oldest university.

The south-west of Fife has a strong industrial heritage - coal mining and shipbuilding shaped towns like Cowdenbeath, Lochgelly and Rosyth - while the East Neuk coastline is defined by a string of picturesque fishing villages: Anstruther, Crail, Pittenweem and St Monans.

Inland, the Howe of Fife is fertile agricultural land dotted with market towns like Cupar, Auchtermuchty and Falkland, the last of these home to a beautifully preserved Renaissance palace.

Fife is well connected to Edinburgh via the Forth Road Bridge and Queensferry Crossing and to Dundee via the Tay Road Bridge, making much of the region practical for commuters while retaining a strong sense of local identity.
