A Fife-based family business has unveiled plans for a luxury golf retreat featuring its own private airstrip close to some of the sport’s most iconic courses.
Hawkswood Country Estate, near Peat Inn in the East Neuk, has lodged a Proposal of Application Notice with Fife Council outlining ambitious plans for the site.
Included in the proposals are a golf course, holiday accommodation including treehouses, a wedding venue and indoor swimming pool.

Significantly, they also incorporate a grass airstrip which doubles up as a driving range – a key aspect of plans to offer aerial tours of Fife’s historic courses.
