Insiderwissen
Tipps für Ihren Besuch
Walk one way, bus back
The Fife Coastal Path joins the villages; bus 95 runs along the same coast, so a one-way walk is easy to plan.
Book the Isle of May early
The May Princess gives about 2.5 to 3 hours ashore. The island is closed to visitors from 1 October until Easter for the seal pups.
Check the tide for the Chain Walk
The Elie Chain Walk, west of Earlsferry, uses chains fixed to the cliffs and should only be attempted at low tide.
Look for the fossil trees
On the beach beside Crail harbour there are fossilised trees from the Carboniferous period.
