From the village of Culross, the walk goes along the sea shore of the Firth of Forth and around the perimeter of Preston Island (which is actually a peninsula).

The "Island" was used for salt panning in the 19th century.  The path then takes us through a wood and alongside a private railway before re-entering Culross.

Here we take a detour to visit Culross Abbey and the ruins of Culross Monastery.  A wander through this picturesque village with its narrow winding cobbles street and brightly painted houses some of which are NT brings us back to our start point.
