Fife Coastal Trail

The Fife Coastal path was created in 2002 and runs from North Queensferry (nr Edinburgh) to Tayport, at a total of 82 miles it's a fairly decent trek along some beautiful and historic coastline.

I have aa relative in St. Andrews who has some great views of the walk, so one day I decided to take a stroll along and see what the fuss was about. Although  it has to be said, I've only walked a small section of it from historic St. Andrews towards the small fishing village of Crail.

As you can imagine it's not the toughest of walks, the rough but easy going path hugs the coastline and on occasion ventures on to sandy beach with sign post pointing the way.

If you're after a Sunday walk or don't fancy bagging a Munro then this could be the walk for you as it's suitable for all levels of fitness.

I do fancy taking some time out and completing the whole thing, if the weather was right this could be the walk of a lifetime.
