Start at the entrance to Kinghorn Golf Club, opposite MacDuff Crescent on the A921, a short walk from the town centre. A map board outlines this circular heritage trail and gives further information on local history. Follow the access road past the clubhouse and take the stony track leading uphill along the edge of the course. Fantastic views emerge of Inchkeith Island in the Firth of Forth. On the other side of the ridge, the path passes by Grange Hill Farm before descending towards the B923. A grassy plateau to your right provides an excellent vantage point from which to look down upon Kinghorn Loch.
Turn right on to the pavement for a short distance before picking up the signed trail across the road. Follow the direction markers for the loch. You may notice a short flight of steps to the right, apparently leading to a viewpoint. This is Tree Top Walk and it runs for 100 yards. While the path is still in a reasonably good state of repair, the vegetation growth now obscures whatever vista was once available from the outlook platform. Back on the main path, take the right hand fork at a junction (signed Lochside). This route leads through woodland and down to the water's edge. Wander by the geese and ducks gathered in the small parking area and keep to the contours of the loch, passing through the Ecology Centre gardens where there is a community café. We emerge on the B923. Cross over and take Burnside Path and keep to the right of the residential area, following a wide grassy way in the direction of the golf clubhouse.
