Groups and organisations have signed up to offer various walks as part of the unique event, organised by environmental charity Greener Kirkcaldy.

It is co-ordinating the festival, which runs from Saturday, June 29, to Sunday, July 7, as part of a wider transport project to encourage people to use their cars less and walk more.

The festival made its debut last year and proved to be a big hit.

Rosanna Zywietz, organiser from Greener Kirkcaldy, said: “Get off the couch and join us!

“We have a great line-up of walks for all ages and abilities, from leisurely coastal walks to 11-mile night time walks around Kirkcaldy.

“Walking is a great way to find out about your local area, meet other walkers and get out for some exercise.

“ In 2018, 230 people took part in the walks – let’s make this year bigger and better than last year.”

There’s a walk back in time with Seafield Environmental Group; there is a coastal walk from Ravenscraig Park to East Wemyss and another to Seafield; LGBT+ will have a ‘Wellbeing Walk’ to Ravenscraig Castle; the Dance Shack willl lead an evening walk round the town; and the Greener Kirkcaldy kids club has a wildlife trail.
