“We value our partnerships with Keep Scotland Beautiful, Fife Council, the RNLI and local communities, which help us maintain the high standards that visitors and locals expect.”

Our Beach of Dreams guided walk from Elie Ruby Bay to Crail was breath-taking. Look at the sight of all the Beach of Dreams pennants fluttering on the sands at Crail! We`ve had the best of weather on the Fife Coastal Path these past 10 days. Hopefully it will hold for our final bike and hike tomorrow, and our finale ceilidh on West Sands, St Andrews. Thanks to everyone who has joined us, our partners and friends at one of our events.
Here`s a reminder of what the coastal arts festival Beach of Dreams is all about: https://www.beachofdreams.org/submissions/tide-line

We`ve been flexing our green fingers to help create a garden at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, for staff and patients to enjoy. Our wonderful volunteers joined two NHS staff members to plant the gardens. They`ve created a lovely space where staff can take some time away from their hectic day and relax in fresh air and nature. Patients are also able to take some time to sit in these beautiful surroundings and benefit from being in green space.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part.
