About
This is another challenging section of the Fife Coastal Path, with high tides, grazing livestock, steep slopes and rough terrain a few of the hazards to be aware of when undertaking this 14-mile trek. However, this section also takes walkers to several fascinating geological wonders, including Buddo Rock, a tower of pink sandstone, and the Rock and Spindle, all that remains of a once-active volcano.
The footpath continues along St Andrews East Sands, through the famous university town, along the edge of the legendary Old Course and along St Andrews West Sands, before finishing at Leuchars.
