Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) is advising visitors that its Tentsmuir Beach car park will be closed for repairs from Monday 27 March until Friday 31 March.

FLS will be carrying out the work on the main visitor access road between the pay barrier and the car park.

The works will not affect the residents at Kinshaldy.

FLS Area Visitor Services Manager, Robin Lofthouse, said;

“With the weather slowly beginning to get more spring-like we’re expecting visitors numbers to start picking up but we don’t want people turning up and being disappointed that they can’t get in

“Although the nature of the works means we’ll have to close the car park, it will be open for the weekend before and the weekend after.

“We would urge all potential visitors to be considerate of our staff and local residents and to find an alternative destination for this one week. There is no alternative parking at the site and parking at roadside on the access road – or in gateways - will only hamper our works, inconvenience local residents and potentially prevent the emergency services from doing their jobs.”
