Kingdom of Fife

40 Coast and Country Walks

Dan Bailey

‘Fareweel, Bonny Scotland, I’m awa’ tae Fife!’ goes the old saying of Fifers, proud of their philosophical as well as geographical independence. It may be a small Kingdom – barely fifty miles at its widest point – but from the grand architecture of St Andrews and Dunfermline to the stone harbours of the East Neuk fishing villages, and from the rolling farmland and gentle hills of the north and west to the rocky bays and sandy beaches of the south and east coast, there is much to be proud of.

This volume features 40 walks which take in hills, lochs, forests, nature reserves, country estates, Victorian parklands and ancient cobbled streets, as well as the best stretches of the unforgettable Fife Coastal Path.
