'Not a walking guide but an ideal illustrated companion to the rich historical background of the area, ancient and modern. An excellent introduction to a wide landscape of Scottish Christian and social history' * Church Times * 'An excellent guide to the Fife Pilgrim way, captures the fascinating history...in a light and almost chatty tone which makes it enjoyable to read and understand. We thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of walking the route' * WalkFife * 'In this essential companion, Ian Bradley brings to life, in great detail, the rich history of the religious buildings and communities encountered along the way. Well-researched, the book is not a walking guide, but an in-depth insight into the lives of the pilgrims in whose steps walkers follow. For those attempting the entire 64-mile route or merely dipping into a section at a time, this read will be an enlightening precursor to a trip or perfect for post excursion reading' * Scottish Field *
