The West Fife Woodlands Group are preparing to install a 'rainbow' bridge on a new path network from Saline to Comrie.

It will be a place where owners of animals can go to scatter their pets ashes and add their collars and leads.

West Fife Woodlands Group are working closely with Donna’s Rescues, which helps rehome dogs, on the project.

The kit for the bridge costs £10,000. The GoFundMe page has currently set a target of £5,000 and has raised £753 so far.

Ronnie Collins, vice chair of the West Fife Woodlands Group, said: “There’s not another rainbow bridge that we know of in Scotland.”

He said it will be “accessible within a week once we get the kit, but the finishing it off, that’s going to be down to funding”.

The group were previously involved in another bridge project in Saline and that took 17 days to put in place.

“We don’t envision any problems in the long term and it’s part of a permanent system for everybody to walk.

“This is the whole idea, we put this stuff in and it’s all open to the public.

“We can’t cut corners and we want it to be long-lasting, so we went for an upmarket kind of bridge,” Ronnie added.

The group hopes to have the bridge up at some point in May. The rest of the project will probably cost around £60,000 for the new path network.

He commented: “People just don’t understand how much time we have to put into projects like this.”
