The Queen’s Baton Relay will arrive in Fife on Thursday, after spending today in Clackmannanshire.
It was in Falkirk on Tuesday, when it was transported down the Forth on a boat and made an appearance at the Falkirk Wheel.
It will spend the day in Fife and take in Knockhill Racing Circuit, Dunfermline Abbey, and travel by RNLI lifeboat between Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy.
Later in the day it will visit Falkland Palace and the East Neuk, finishing up in St Andrews for a carnival-themed parade.
Celebratory events to mark the relay coming to Fife have been supported through Games for Scotland, a programme managed by EventScotland.
Fife Council is advising members of the public about traffic disruptions.
Emma Broadhurst, the council’s physical activity and legacy manager, is looking forward to welcoming the baton and showcasing lots of sports and activities that are available in the area.
She said: “We’ve got a great day planned to celebrate the baton coming to Fife and there has already been a really great reaction to it arriving in Scotland.
“Some areas have seen big crowds come out to welcome the baton, so we would like to remind everyone of the traffic restrictions that will be in place in some areas from the night before the baton arrives.”
The areas affected are Dunfermline, Inverkeithing, Dalgety Bay, Aberdour, Burntisland, Kinghorn, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Leven, Falkland, Freuchie, Cupar, Pittenweem, Anstruther, Cellardyke and St Andrews.
The council has said that if you live on the route and are due for a bin collection that day, please ensure your bin is out on time, by 6am. The council will try to service these streets as early as it can.
The Active Fife team is also calling on everyone to get involved in the free evening celebration for the baton relay in St Andrews.
From 5.15pm until 7.30pm a carnival-themed parade will lead the way. There will be live music with a samba band and choirs, and of course the baton itself.
As part of the celebration there will be an attempt to break the record for the world’s biggest ceilidh. To take part, collect a wristband in advance from St Andrews library or tourist information centre.
Participants are being asked to wear something tartan to help get in the spirit of the event.
Paul Bush, chief operating officer for EventScotland, said: “We are delighted to be working with Fife Council to deliver their Games for Scotland events this year, as we count down the final days to the games. The council have planned an exciting and creative daytime and evening programme to mark the Queen’s Baton Relay in the area and it should be a memorable occasion.
“The diverse programme of sport and dance events, which this year additionally celebrate the arrival of the Queen’s Baton Relay, extend the legacy of the games beyond the host city.”
