Recreational Route: Scotland
North Queensferry to Newport on Tay
107km/67 miles
A varied path around the firths of Forth and Tay, including historic towns and villages such as Dysart and St Monans, industrial heritage such as the famous Forth Bridge, areas of rich natural history interest and attractive beaches. The walk is a mix of easy, surfaced seaside promenades and rougher coastal tracks. The path to Crail opened in 2001 and was extended to Newport in 2003.
Update. A landslip near the southern end of the East Sands Caravan Park at St Andrews has currently diverted the route. A new alignment is being negotiated with the landowner.
