They stretch from Kincardine in the west, to Newburgh in the north, and finish in St Andrews. Each event is guided by an expert from FCCT so you can learn about nature, local heritage and the challenges facing our dynamic coastline.
You don't need to have taken part in our bikes and hikes to join in our celebration. Just come along and enjoy the ceilidh band the sight of hundreds of silk pennants fluttering in the breeze! - find us on the beach just north of the café Dook and the public toilets.
