Discover the small fishing villages and docks of the region for the first time on this Scottish coastline classic. Impressive are the views of the picturesque sandy beaches. After a walk through the small fishing village of Elie you hike to St. Monans.
Loop tour Isle of May
Like a huge iceberg, the Isle of May towers over the horizon and accompanies you during the hikes on the first days. The island is a true natural paradise and the perfect place to watch seals, puffins and many other animals. From Anstruther you can reach the island and have the possibility of a short circular walk there.
Elie/St. Monans – Crail
A beautiful fishing village joins this hiking section to the next. Idyllic presents the streets of the village Pittenweem, colorful and lively the harbor of Anstruther. Here you can expect the best fish and chips far and wide! On promising paths, it goes on to Crail.
Crail – St. Andrews
A bird sanctuary awaits you shortly after Crail. The hike continues past some golf courses to the wildest section of the Fife Coastal Path. This leads you through sparsely populated area to a pristine coastal landscape. From a distance greet the ruins of the cathedral and point you in the last few kilometers the way to the golf and university town of St. Andrews.
