Welcome to Buckhaven! Known as Buckhind to the friendly locals, there’s lots to explore and learn about around this coastal community. This trail will take you on journey exploring the old harbour and learning about life on the rough seas and how society has changed in this part of the world over the last two hundred years.
The trail is digital, but along the way there are interpretation boards giving you additional information.

This location is just under one hour walk from Leven station, following the Fife Coastal Path.
Several buses also serve this route – use Google Maps for live transport information.
We will see some amazing views over the Firth of Forth along the way, and might even bump in to some Dinosaurs?! Well, ok, they're only paintings, but they are quite incredible. We'll wander some of the Fife Costal Path, take part in an assault course (optional of course), visit the local museum and check out some delicious local produce.
There are some hills and off-road walking, so practical shoes are advised, especially in poor weather.
