Itinerary

St. Andrews

Say goodbye to Edinburgh as we head towards one of Scotland’s most iconic viewpoints: the Forth Bridges Viewpoint. Opened in 1890, 1964, and 2017, these three bridges—despite their differences—oddly complement each other.

We then enter the Kingdom of Fife, traveling through rolling hills and past fertile farmlands. The road leads us to the East Neuk—meaning “East Corner” in Scots. This charming region is renowned for its picturesque coastal villages, breathtaking scenery, and rich maritime history. We stop in the traditional fishing village of Anstruther, (known as ‘Ainster’ locally). Here, you can explore the old, cobbled streets and enjoy a stroll along the seafront to the harbour.

Next, we travel to the medieval town of St Andrews. This coastal gem is home to Scotland’s oldest university, an ancient golf course, and the ruins of both a cathedral and a castle. We stop here for lunch, so you can decide how to spend your time. You might try local specialties like ice cream at Jannetta’s Gelateria. You can also visit the iconic Old Course, explore the ancient ruins, or stroll along the beach.
Afterward, we head to Falkland, an enchanting village brimming with charm. The Royals cherished this place so much they had a palace built here. You can explore this residence or wander the cobbled streets, looking for filming locations from Outlander.Early Evening

Leaving Falkland, we drive through the rolling countryside, passing Loch Leven, where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned by her Protestant nobles. We then cross the Firth of Forth once more and return to Edinburgh.

You return to Edinburgh at approximately 6.15pm.
