Queen's Baton Arrives In Fife

Thousands of people prepare to line the streets to catch a glimpse of the famous baton.

The Queen's Baton relay will tour Fife today.

It will move across the Kingdom - taking in the sights of Dunfermline Abbey, Pittencrieff House and Aberdour Silver Sands.

It will take a unique journey to Kirkcaldy by sailing on an RNLI lifeboat before heading towards Glenrothes, Falkland Palace and Anstruther Fisheries Museum.

It will finish its Fife journey on the 18th hole at St Andrews, with the Commonwealth Games kicking off in just 27 days time.
