We are the Dunfermline and West Fife Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This walk takes the John Muir Way from Blackness, along the coast to Abercorn, a tiny settlement by Hopetoun House. There is a short ascent in woodland by the Midhope Burn, before walking down to return on a woodland edge to the start. Blackness Castle has featured in a number of film and TV series, including Outlander. It juts into the Forth Estuary, this area being a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its plant and animal life.
