The Fife Pilgrim Way is a 64 mile trail following the medieval pilgrim route from North Queensferry to St Andrews. Opened in July 2019 and managed by the Fife Coast & Countryside Trust, the route is broken down into 7 stages with the last leg of the journey passing through Craigtoun Country Park en route from Ceres to St Andrews. You can read up on each stage of the journey here and you can also follow The Fife Pilgrim Way Facebook page to be kept up-to-date on developments and organised walks. Don't forget to pop into the Craigtoun Cafe for a cuppa or a nice, cold drink to fuel yourself up for the final part of the journey that will take you all the way to St Andrews Cathedral!
Hello, I’m Jan and I’m a volunteer for Friends of Craigtoun. I have been coming to St. Andrews on holiday with my family since I was a toddler and a highlight was always our visits to Craigtoun Park
Several years ago, I was advised to attend an NHS sponsored fitness class in Cupar as I had health problems and it was there that I met Tom, a volunteer at Craigtoun Country Park, and Kyff Roberts, who was the Chairman of the Friends of Craigtoun Country Park. I live just five minutes away from the Park in Strathkinness but had not visited the place in over 30 years.
When I heard that Craigtoun was in danger of closing and that a determined group of people were going to try and ensure that didn’t happen, I was only too glad to help in any way I could. Like many people in this area, I had known and loved Craigtoun all my life and the thought of losing this gem didn’t bear thinking about.
