Description
This book is the essential companion for anyone exploring the new Fife Pilgrim Way, whether on foot, by car or bicycle, or simply as an armchair traveller.
Packed with history, vivid anecdote, and nearly 100 colour illustrations, it brings to life the fascinating communities and characters along the route in whose footsteps modern pilgrims are treading. Setting off with Celtic saints and St Margaret from Culross and North Queensferry, marching with miners through the West Fife coalfields, carrying on with Covenanters and Communists, and ending among the martyrs, relics, and ghosts of the haunted city of St Andrews, this gripping narrative presents a journey through Scottish history, ancient and modern, with spiritual reflections along the way.
