FIFE PILGRIM WAY

Scotland’s Original Tourists

For 400 years, St Andrews was one of the main pilgrimage destinations in Medieval Europe. People from all walks of life flocked to see the bones of the Saint, one of the disciples of Jesus.

Stretching from the enchanting settlement of Culross in the West (which you might recognise as the fictional village of Cranesmuir in the hit TV show Outlander), past the mighty Forth Rail Bridge and the historic royal centre of Dunfermline, all the way to St Andrews in the East, the Fife Pilgrim Way is packed with history and charm.

Learn about Queen Margaret, Scotland’s royal Saint, birdwatch at historic Loch Leven, or stop to visit the birthplace of famous philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who rose from humble origins to become the world’s richest man.
