Beach of Dreams, a UK-wide coastal arts festival, comes to Fife in 2025. And you can get involved. FCCT are delighted that Fife has been confirmed as the Scottish location for this creative programme which explores the unique heritage, culture and climate future of our coastline.
Presented by Kinetika, Beach of Dreams will see acclaimed and emerging artists commissioned UK-wide to create works to help local communities connect with the natural environment.
In Fife, artist Julie Brook will create a tidal sculpture from locally-sourced materials. She’ll be inspired by walks along the Fife Coastal Path and talks with locals. There will be workshops, walks and creative events with fellow partners @artmovesfife. So, keep an eye on our social media and website to find out more when announced.
If you want to be involved, why not join our virtual gathering on Wednesday 23 October at 10am. Book your free slot here: www.eventbrite.com/o/beach-of-dreams-91479685453

Our maintenance team has been repairing the upper section of the Glenvale path in the Lomond Hills Regional Park. This is one of the most remote and rugged parts of the hills and is one of our most difficult sites to access. The path had been gullied out by rain water so needed regraded and repaired.
Vegetation was removed at the edge of the path to encourage rain water to run off the path and not down the surface of the path. The team was able to get access through fields to take an excavator on site, and also used hand tools to dig and rake.
Our before and after pictures show the transformation. You can see that in many sections the path has been restored to its original width.
