    Which one?

    Earth café, on the left by the traffic lights before the petrol station.
    They've got the Canon Court Apts across from them already.

    Earthy canonmills? The cafe with a hipster mini market attached? Surprising that it would be destroyed.

    OP, there's also a shiny new Scotland forum on boards where you may get more info from locals http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1764

    Yeah, that's the one. Seems to have been sold from under them. Such a shame.

    Not exactly the most fun spot for a newcomer to the area though. If you're trying to get to know new people you'll find it a lot easier in Edinburgh than in a smallish town in Fife.

    Really? You will meet more "newcomers" in Fife than in Edinburgh.

    Most people in Edinburgh are there just to say they were there.. In a Hipster way.

    I haven't lived in Fife, so it's difficult for me to compare directly, but I haven't gotten that impression about people moving to Edinburgh so far. Given Edinburgh has an estimated population of half a million people, if "most" people were like that I'd expect to have seen more of the phenomenon by now ;) Having said that, I can certainly imagine there being more people "passing through" Edinburgh than Fife, in the way that tends to happen with any big city.

    On a more general note, I've found that there's a lot of activity through the likes of meetup.com based around Edinburgh which can be very helpful as a newcomer to the city. I assume there are also groups based around Fife, so either way it's worth taking a look.

    You definately won't meet more newcomers in Fife than in Edinburgh, that's just plain wrong. There's nothing wrong with Fife but let's not make it out to be something that's it not, advising people to move there ahead of Edinburgh would be like advising someone moving to Dublin from overseas to move to Kildare or Meath ahead of the city.

    If you want to live in a city you'll live in Edinburgh or Glasgow, if you want to live in a semi-rural/urban area like fife that's where you'll live. Let's be honest, the bast majority of young professionals etc. are going to much prefer to live in Edinburgh than in Burntisland or Dunfermline, it's jsut the way life is.
