About

This stretch of the Fife Coastal Path truly illustrates the incredible diversity of the places and scenery along the coast of Fife. From the seaside resort of Burntisland to the former mining village of Buckhaven via Fife’s largest town, Kirkcaldy and the picturesque Wemyss villages, where the caves have fascinating drawings carved by the Picts who lived here over 2,000 years ago.

If you’re in need of sustenance as you approach the final miles of this stretch of the Fife Coastal Path, the Harbourmaster’s House in historic Dysart has a popular bistro with views across the charming harbour.
