With Katie. This was a short (about 4 mile) walk from Mount Melville outside St Andrews where my mother lives with Katie, my mother’s very cute but not very well-behaved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The countryside round St Andrews in this direction in pretty thoroughly despoiled by golf courses and a big caravan park but this attractive path along a branch of the Kinness Burn threads a pleasant line through it sheltered by woods from all the golf to make a nice stroll. It starts from the back end of Craigtoun park which can be reached by walking straight up the Mount Melville road ignoring any turnoffs to either side. Here there is a sign to St Andrews via Craigtoun Den and Lumbo Den. You follow this through extremely pleasant woodland crossing over a minor road by Lumbo Bridge.

Eventually this leads to the outskirts of St Andrews where a path continues through houses past the old Bogward Doocot and an old millstone,  past Lawmill Pond, skirting the edge of Cockshaugh Park, past a drinking well (“In Remembrance of John McIntosh Pioneer Planter of the Trees on the North Side of this Walk”) to emerge eventually on Bridge Street near the West Port. Coming back again I varied the route a little by turning left down Viaduct Walk and heading up the Canongate. Just after passing John Knox Road on the left, I took a path of right that led down to rejoin the outward route.
