Location

Whitehall has a prominent setting in the coastal village of Aberdour. It is on Shore Road which is the road that leads from the High Street down the hill to the Black Sands beach. There is a park opposite with a bowling green and tennis courts and Aberdour Golf Course is just beyond. Aberdour railway station is within 300 metres of the front gate.

There are coastal views in both directions from the upper floors and Inchcolm Island can be seen. There is also an outlook to Aberdour Castle from the back windows. The nearby Fife Coastal Path provides access to miles of coastal walks.

Aberdour is a historic coastal village in the Kingdom of Fife. It is a pleasant and peaceful community which also acts as a commuter village to the larger local towns as well as Edinburgh. The location, a short distance from the golf course, tennis club and beaches, is excellent for families. The village has two beaches including popular Silver Sands, which is considered one of the finest Blue Flag beaches in Scotland.

Edinburgh is only 18 miles away and Edinburgh Airport is on the near side of the city. The M90, just 4 miles to the west, provides fast links to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. The nearby railway station provides regular services into Edinburgh making for an easy commute.

Aberdour has a good range of local amenities including a number of popular pubs and restaurants. Asda and Tesco supermarkets can be found in nearby Dalgety Bay. There is a local boat club and Aberdour Golf Club is a private members parkland course, with stunning vistas over the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh. The village also has its own primary school, and the nearest secondary school is in Inverkeithing. The Edinburgh private schools are within daily reach and Dollar Academy has a school bus service from the village.
