KINGHORN LOCH Location: OS 65/258875

Located close to the B923, two miles east of Burntisland, this charming little loch is home to some excellent specimen fish. Some very big pike and specimen-sized common and mirror carp have been caught here, and there are rumours of good quality bream, although hard evidence is scarce.

On the north side of the loch is located the Craigencalt Farm Ecology Centre and Community Woodland, and the closely associated boat launching area is a very popular location for anglers.

The sluice at the eastern end is also popular, giving long casts in towards the tree-lined southern shore, which by any other means is basically unfishable due to the overgrown nature of the banks. The extreme north-western corner is nature reserve and access is denied. However, the fishable and accessible area makes up more than half the shoreline, and should meet potential demand.

Fife Council, who are the landlords, only permit evening fishing, due to the use of the loch as an educational resource. Anglers are respectfully requested to adhere to this ruling.
