What a difference our maintenance team have made to the section of the Fife Coastal Path between East Wemyss and Buckhaven. The bit near the cemetery has been resurfaced, as you can see from our before and after pics.
Fife Coastal Path is divided into 8 sections on our website. Each section describes the path and includes points of interest and useful info. Why not start exploring: https://fifecoastandcountrysidetrust.co.uk/walks/fife-coastal-path/burntisland-to-buckhaven/

Our public toilets scooped some top Scotland gongs at the Loo of the Year Awards again this year. Our loos are the leading local authority toilets in the country! And our in-house cleaning team was named Scotland`s best.
We really value these awards. They`re a reflection of our small team`s hard work. And only by making improvements and maintaining standards can we keep on winning. These accolades also reflect our valued partnerships with @fifecouncil and your local communities - so thank you!

It was a frosty, atmospheric morning at Dysart Harbour today, the HQ of Fife Coast and Countryside Trust. See how the shades of blue in the poles are mirrored in the sky. If you`re out for a walk or a drive, remember The Harbourmaster`s Café is open til 3pm.

Eight swans a plodding at Birnie and Gaddon Lochs near Collessie. Thanks to our Education Officer, Rich, for capturing this serene, wintry scene. Our local nature reserves are really beautiful, even in the depths of winter. But please remember that humans and pets should never walk on the ice.

It’s been fascinating to see the transformation at Coul Den, on the northern edge of Glenrothes, while the Back Burn has been restored. A dried up, overgrown channel has become a meandering river. The old concrete weir has been refashioned to create fish-friendly rock pools. And a new channel has been created with tree trunks criss-crossing it – the very definition of a log jam!
If you haven’t visited in while, we recommend you take a wander. And imagine how green it will look when the vegetation flourishes in spring and summer. Thanks to the contractors McGowan Environmental for these post-works drone images.
