Tip of the iceberg. Fife council seem to be actually proud of this kind of thing, its all tallied up as a national success story...

Not according to http://www.scottishboundaries.gov.uk/mapbrowser.asp
I know others will disagree with me but I see their logic in getting the path built while compromising these 50m. I don't know if moving the road North was too expensive or if the residents (rightly) refused to have their gardens shortened but for the sake of a few miles of wide segregated path I'll slow down and pootle along this bit.

I tend to agree with that. Most of the rest of the route is actually pretty decent.
