The Ship Inn is one of the best places for a drink if you are staying in a self catering holiday house in Elie such as Elie Cottage. The memories of sitting in the summer sun over-looking the harbour last a long time. ‘The Ship’ has been a pub since 1838 and (according to The Guardian amongst others) is now amongst one of Scotland’s most well known focal points and popular day-tripping destination. It also has a decent menu and wine list and is good for kids (which has to be good new for anyone renting an Elie holiday house!)
