Borrowed description from Fife Coastal Path guide:

“This section of the Fife Coastal Path starts in he urban and industrial area of Leven. Leven and Methill are linked by the Bawbee Bridge (a Scots term for an old half penny which was the toll for crossing the original bridge).
You can now reach Leven by the new rail link. So if you want to explore a part of the path you haven’t been on before, why not jump on a train to Leven?
From Leven head to Lundin Links along the sandy beach. At high tide, use the alternative route, which follows a grassy path through the sand dunes. Take care when walking near the golf course and stick to the waymarked route. From Lundin Links the route crosses the Keil Burn to Lower Largo. This was the birthplace of Alexander Selkirk and the inspiration for Daniel Defoe’s novel Robinson Crusoe.
The long-distance trail follows the abandoned railway and coastline. At high tide, an alternative route takes you through the Dumbarnie Links nature reserve – calcareous dunes noted for birds, butterflies and flowers. The low tide route follows the beach.
The path climbs from Shell Bay to Kincraig Point. There are two route options here, one leading over the cliff and the other to the quirky Elie Chainwalk. A series of chains set into the cliff allow you to traverse this route – but it’s not for the fainthearted!
Take care crossing the golf course, and head on to the delightful villages of Earlsferry and Elie.”

Please bring good walking shoes with grip, sufficient water and lunch. We will stop once for lunch and once at holiday park for coffee/tea or second lunch. H
