Excursion Isle of May
The Isle of May thrones like an iceberg on the horizon and accompanies hikers on their first days. The island is a true natural paradise and a perfect place to observe seals, puffins and other animals. From Anstruther you reach the island, where you have the possibility of a short circular walk.
Hotel example: Grannies Harbour B&B
Pittenweem – Crail
One village follows the other in this section. The streets of the village of Pittenweem are idyllic, while the port of Anstruther is lively. You will find the best Fish & Chips here by far. Continue on scenic trails to Crail.

Crail – St. Andrews
The wildest section of Fife Coastal Paths takes you through sparsely populated areas. The ruins of the cathedral greet you from afar and show you the way to the golf and university town of St. Andrews over the last few kilometres.
Hotel example: Albany Hotel
Tentsmuir loop
Travel by bus to Leuchars and hike through the nature reserve of Tentsmuir. You cross an idyllic forest and reach one of the most beautiful beaches of Scotland. You can catch the bus back to St. Andrews from the port of Tayport.

Tour character
You occasionally walk on asphalt roads around the villages. Otherwise the hikes trails are largely on well-maintained and easy paths. There are almost no differences in altitude, but good physical condition is required for the long stages.
