A Fife business has applied for permission to build a mobile sauna at Aberdour’s Silver Sands beach.

The company Wild Scottish Sauna cited the success of its St Andrews facility, along with positive customer feedback as the reason for its planned expansion.

Councillors are due to consider the application on October 23.

A supporting statement included in the company’s application to Fife Council said: “We feel that the picturesque and prestigious town of Aberdour would hugely benefit from one of our luxury Saunas.

“We use local craftsmen and materials and work closely with the businesses of Fife, to ensure that our service complements the surrounding area and keeps the community happy.

“Tourism has a huge part to play in the economy of Fife and we feel our wild sauna would bring tourism from both Scottish and international clientele.

“We feel that our business has real potential for growth in Fife and beyond. Our Kingsbarns sauna is a great example of how accommodating we are, how often we are open and how highly our customers' reviews are.”

The company currently has eight employees and has stated that it would look to hire locally for an Aberdour facility.

Board members include therapists and health care professionals such as Jamie and Jayne, who founded a local wild swimming group named Bob and blether.

 The group has over 100 local women who come together as part of the wider community to support one another to enjoy the benefits of swimming and sauna use.
