Police have launched an investigation after a body was discovered on a beach near a golf course in Fife.

A stretch of the coastal path between Anstruther Golf Club and Pittenweem was taped off after the alarm was raised at about 06:40.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Officers remain at the scene and enquiries are continuing."

The club informed members and visitors on its Facebook page that there was currently no access to the course.
