About

The Howe of Fife and Tay Coast ward encompasses a distinct agricultural lowland basin, the Howe, bordered by the Ochil Hills. This fertile area is characterised by arable farming and small settlements. The ward extends north to the southern shoreline of the Firth of Tay, where the landscape transitions to coastal villages and estuarine environments.

The coastline features the broad tidal expanse of the Tay, with mudflats and sandbanks exposed at low tide. The area is noted for its population of mute swans, which gather in significant numbers along the river's edge. Inland, the pattern of fields and country roads dominates, connecting historic villages that developed around the local farming economy.
