  • Day 1 Arrival in Aberdour

    From your point of arrival, use the public transport information we provide to make the journey to Aberdour.

  • Day 2 Aberdour to Kirkcaldy

    9.5 Miles / 15 Km 4-6 Hrs 590 ft / 180 Metres

    From Aberdour, the path follows the coastline into Burntisland. A longer section along the road then leads you into the pretty little fishing village of Kinghorn – a nice place to stop for lunch. Afterwards, the trail heads north past the dramatic remains of Seafield Tower and into the town of Kirkcaldy.

  • Day 3 Kirkcaldy to Leven

    10.5 Miles / 17 Km 4-6 Hrs 590 ft / 180 Metres

    Leaving Kirkcaldy, there’s a lovely trail through Ravenscraig Park that takes you all the way to Dysart Harbour. We recommend you visit the fascinating Visitor Centre and café in the old Harbourmaster’s House. From here, the hike enters one of its less attractive sections as it passes through urban areas affected by the decline of the local industries.

  • Day 4 Leven to Elie

    9.5 Miles / 15 Km 4-5 Hrs 460 ft / 140 Metres

    If you like glorious sandy beaches and charming fishing villages then you will love this section of the trail. On your way, look out for the Robinson Crusoe statue in Lower Largo, home to the real life inspiration of this famous fictional character.

  • Day 5 Elie to Crail

    10.5 Miles / 17 Km 4-6 Hrs 490 ft / 150 Metres

    At Elie Ness you can visit Lady Anstruther’s 18th century summer bathing house and a little further on the ruins of 13th century Newark Castle befor the trail leads onward to St Monans and Pittwenweem. Afterwards, you pass through the popular tourist village of Anstruther where a visit to the Fisheries Museum is worthwhile. And, if you’re feeling peckish, be sure to stop in at the Anstruther Fish Bar – a past winner of the UK Fish & Chip Shop of the Year.

  • Day 6 Departure from Crail

    There are regular bus services from Crail to Edinburgh and onwards to Glasgow. Full details provided upon booking.
