A hike on Fife's camino – Culross to St Andrews

The new 56-mile Fife Pilgrim Way in eastern Scotland lifts the veil on deep history, glorious landscapes, religious lore and wild raspberries

Ah, peace at last. I’m lost in a riot of wildflowers somewhere near Glenrothes, and there comes a moment when I’ve never been so close to home and yet so far away. Rabbits bound ahead of me. Dragonflies and damselflies hover. Frogs leap in puddles. The open farmlands of Fife may disguise it, but life here is hidden in all sorts of nooks.
