This pilgrimage walk runs for 56 miles (91 km) from the Firth of Forth via Dunfermline Abbey to the famous pilgrim destination of St Andrews. It is rich in industrial heritage, passing through mining communities, along disused railways and passing castles. Above all, it celebrates Fife's pilgrim kingdom and history through many churches and religious sites.

Start from either the historic village of Culross or the pilgrim landing at North Queensferry, and make your way across the heartlands of Fife. The route has fine scenery and passes through country parks, native woodlands and river valleys rich in wildlife. Most walkers will need 5-6 days to complete the journey.

Cyclists with mountain or gravel bikes can enjoy most of the route in most conditions, but in some circumstances - where the ground is very wet or the path too narrow - they may need to dismount. Most cyclists will want 2-3 days to complete the route.

The guidebook features step-by-step directions with detailed mapping, and illustrated sections on history, heritage and wildlife. It directs readers to side-trips, refreshments and accommodation along the way. Lavishly illustrated, the book features custom mapping at 1:40,000 on 16 of its pages and has 108 colour photos.
