The Fife Coastal Path is a Scottish long distance footpath that runs from Kincardine to Newburgh along the coastline of Fife. The path was created in 2002, originally running from North Queensferry to Tayport. It was extended in 2011 with a new section running from Kincardine to North Queensferry,[2] then again in 2012 from Tayport to Newburgh.[3] The path, which usually takes between one week and 10 days to walk in full, now runs for 187 kilometres (116 mi).[1] The Fife Coastal Path is managed and maintained by Fife Coast and Countryside Trust, a registered environmental charity,[4] and is designated as one of Scotland's Great Trails by NatureScot.[1] About 500,000 people use the path every year, of whom about 35,000 walk the entire route.[5]
