The Fife Coastal Path runs around the coastline of eastern Scotland for 117 miles (187 km) from Kincardine on the Forth to Newburgh on the Tay. Starting west of the famous Forth bridges, the route heads through former mining towns towards the villages of Fife's East Neuk (corner), with their rich tradition of smuggling and fishing. After rounding Fife Ness, the route follows the coastline through St Andrews, golf capital of the world and former religious centre of Scotland.Fife has long played an important part in Scottish history and the route passes many castles, towers and churches. There are splendid views along the coast and over the Firths of Forth and Tay, with great chances to sight seabirds, seals and dolphins. The villages have welcoming pubs, famous fish-and-chip shops and good B&Bs. Transport by train and bus makes for easy access throughout.The guidebook contains everything you need to plan and enjoy your holiday on foot, or on a bike where cycling is appropriate - details of each section showing distance, side-trips and food/drink stops; background on history, landscapes and wildlife; planning information for travel by bus, train, car and plane; lavishly illustrated, with 100 colour photographs; and detailed mapping of the entire route at 1:45,000.This second edition contains many route updates and is in an even lighter, more pocketable format.

Excerpt from The Kingdom: A Descriptive and Historical Handbook to Fife, With Map and Illustrations Kingdom, with its quaint old towns and their historic memories - is the subject of this little book. All minute uninteresting details will, if possible, be avoided; things familiar to our ears from childhood's days will be found gathered together, though it may be in confused order. In those days of quick locomotion the traveller through any land is apt to forget little facts and stories connected with localities, the memory of which, could they be called to his mind at the time, would enhance the pleasure of his hurried journey or holiday visit. It has been well said In Egypt time and climate deal tenderly with things of the past; and as they were a thousand years ago, so may you see them now. Not so in a land where man, aiding the wind and weather, works ceaseless change. We grow wheat in Roman camps and turnips on glorious battlefields, and break up Druidical monuments to mend roads. It is all the more necessary, therefore, that we should be sometimes reminded of historical facts connected with localities.
