A Walk Following the Fife Coastal Path to Three Picturesque Fishing Villages
The coast of the East Neuk of Fife is one of the most attractive corners of Scotland, possessing a distinctive character quite different from the better-known west coast of Highlands and Islands. This walk links three villages, each in a superb setting, and provides stunning views across the Firth of Forth to the Isle of May, Bass Rock, and (on a clear day) even St Abbs Head.
Old stone harbour walls protect fishing boats against winter gales, while traditional houses and cottages nestle together behind the harbours and spread up hillsides in a maze of narrow lanes and wynds (alleys). During summer months, coastal paths become a mass of wildflowers between the fields and rocky shore.
