The Fife Pilgrim Way Summary

The Fife Pilgrim Way: In the Footsteps of Monks, Miners and Martyrs by Ian Bradley

Packed with over almost 100 images and countless stories, it brings to life the fascinating communities and the characters along the route in whose footsteps modern pilgrims are treading. Setting off with Celtic saints from Culross and North Queensferry, marching with miners through the West Fife coalfields, continuing on with Covenanters and Communists and ending among the martyrs, relics and ghosts of the haunted city of St Andrews, this gripping narrative presents a journey through Scottish history, ancient and modern, with spiritual reflections along the way.

The Fife Pilgrim Way Reviews

'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'
