This is our guide to running on the east coast of Scotland, from Dundee to St. Andrews. There are some great places to run in Dundee, showcased by paths along the River Tay, Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve, and linear park paths along the Dighty Burn Tributary. There’s also some nice waterfront running across the river in Tayport.
We’ve also put together two great routes in the historic coastal town of St. Andrews, which is famous for its golf courses. The iconic route includes waterfront paths skirting the world’s oldest public golf course, and along the beach where ‘Chariots of Fire’ was filmed.
Dundee and St. Andrews are only 14 miles apart — an easy drive or bus ride. Runners should note the fickle Scottish weather. It can be windy and wet any time of year, and you’ll almost always need a later.
