We are the Tayside Young Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walk description
The first section of the Fife Coastal Path is a journey along a mixture of paths, tracks and roads passing through coastal settlements including historic Culross and Rosyth with its giant port and naval base, before reaching the Forth bridges at North Queensferry. A long stage, but easy walking on flat ground and well-waymarked. Estimate walking for 6 hours with some breaks for snacks and lunch. Will be car shuttling from one end to the other so looking for volunteers to drive.
Stage 3-7 of this walk.
