The Fife peninsula extends from the broad Forth estuary in the south to the Firth of Tay in the north. Where once the Picts held sway and where trade with the Friesians, Flemings and Normans flourished in the Middle Ages, now tourism and young, ambitious service and electronics companies centered on Glenrothes in the so-called "Silicon Glen" provide employment for the local people. The region is administered from the town of Cupar.
