The village and parish of Kingsbarns lies near the eastern coast of Fife, Scotland, in an area known as the East Neuk, 6.5 miles southeast of St Andrews and 3.6 miles north of Crail. The name derives from the area being the location of the barns used to store grain before being transported to the Palace at Falkland, Fife.
Folk musician James Yorkston was brought up in Kingsbarns.
The coast around Kingsbarns is also known as a challenging surfing area.
