The most famous walk around here is The Chain Walk (see below) … One of the "Best Walks in Britain" ...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/outdoors/outdoor-activities/5770062/Best-walks-in-Britain-Elie-Chain-Walk.html

The Chain Walk on the Fife Coastal Path offers those who are energetic and have a head for heights a walk with a difference. A series of carved steps accompanied by vertical and horizontal chains allows access to the cliffs, several caves, columnar basalt and other coastal features. While this is great fun, make sure everyone is wearing good sturdy footwear, the tide is far out (otherwise you can be trapped by the sea) and you have a full hour for (otherwise you can be trapped by the sea) and you have a full hour for this route. The return walk gives you commanding views from Kincraig Point. Follow the coastline from Chapel Ness, past the golf course and along the shoreline to the rocky coastline below Kincraig Point to the chains. http://www.eastneukwide.co.uk/tourist/walks/index.html
