  • The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan
    The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan This sundial trail starts from the Forth Road Bridge (the main A90 road from Edinburgh) which spans the River Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry and is only a few miles from Scotland’s capital city. It ends in St. Andrews, the home of golf where another sundial trail is available (the St. Andrews Sundial Trail). St. Andrews now of course is almost as famous in some quarters for being the place where Prince William and Kate Middleton first met at the University in the town. Another sundial trail is available for the return journey which takes a different route back to your starting point at the Forth Road Bridge (the North Fife Sundial Trail). The East Neuk Sundial Trail takes the scenic (and longer and much slower) coastal route to the East Neuk of Fife (neuk is an old Scots word for corner) via Inverkeithing, Aberdour, Burntisland, and the fishing villages of Elie and Crail and then on to St. Andrews. A car will be needed and a full day is required. The journey to St. Andrews is approximately 53 miles and around 2½ hours driving time from the Forth Road Bridge plus stopping and viewing times. There are eight sundials at six locations on this route plus four options to see another five sundials. These options are identified in the text. If you are doing all three trails mentioned above and using this trail as the return leg from St. Andrews, you will obviously have to reverse the directions.
