Overview

From the shore at Burntisland we walk through the village and climb the Binn hill, with superb views up and down the Firth of Forth. The route takes us on to Kinghorn Loch, by the Ecology Centre, often busy with wildlife and water sports. Then the walk continues via the golf course and close to Pettycur Bay above the Fife coastline, looking across to Edinburgh and the Pentlands. We return by the coast roadside to Burntisland.
