@SustransScot Seen from up the road a bit, just to the right of the car in original pic. https://t.co/POBwSDUdYi [More context to this photo is given in original photo referred to: https://www.flickr.com/photos/133699292@N05/22028036510 ... [more]

NCN76 along Beech Avenue from Dalgety Bay to Aberdour. The route follows a private road which is almost completely free of motorised traffic and is well-used by cyclists and pedestrians. The surface is smooth tarmac for the majority of the ... [more]

Millenium Milepost at inverkeithing station.

Made it to the top :)

NCN1 southbound sign. Just avoiding the hanging baskets. The text size (x-height) on this sign is very small. This makes the sign hard to see.

A very steep bit of cycle path

View of Longannet Power Station from the NCN76.

There's a separated cycle path along side the road on the Fife coastal path. I'm thinking I'm in the Netherlands.

Cycling from Strath to Falkland Location: Strathmiglo (Scotland, United Kingdom)

Great cycling for kids Location: Strathmiglo (Scotland, United Kingdom) This is the Strathmiglo to Falkland off road track - brill for wee ones, see www.smartcommunityfife.org.uk/routes/25/

national route 76 round the forth has many challenging cunningly concealed steep climbs from the shore away from installations or closed off areas. This is an excellent cyclepath.
