Leuchars Station Airfield
Leuchars Station Airfield, in the village of Leuchars in Scotland's Fife region, fields a single, low-lying runway at a low 38 feet above sea level. Its name indicates a military station rather than a typical civilian airport. Fife occupies a peninsula between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth on Scotland's eastern coast, giving the airfield a coastal, low-lying position. Any medium-airport classification here reflects runway infrastructure rather than passenger volume, since the field's real identity is as a defense installation serving this part of eastern Scotland.
