Pittenweem is a sleepy village in the East Neuk of Fife, where you do get the genuine feeling of being off the beaten track! Pittenweem is the busiest fishing port in Fife, and here we will visit St Fillan's cave, home to an Irish missionary in the 7th century.

It is hard to believe that this wee fishing village once had the largest marketplace in Europe! We will take you to the historic harbour where you can wander and explore the harbour, town and beach.

Our first stop on our journey north is St Andrews, home to Golf, the oldest University in Scotland and a Cathedral built as early as 1158. You will have the chance to have your picture taken at the iconic Old Course, and explore the small medieval town, bustling with cobbled streets, quaint cafes and independent shops.

'Once see never forgotten' is the slogan of Dunnottar Castle. Once you have seen it with your own eyes, you will know why! Perched atop a 160 foot rock and surrounded on three sides by the North Sea, these dramatic and evocative cliff-top ruins were once an impregnable fortress of the Earls Marischal, one of the most powerful families in Scotland. We will make a short stop to admire the castle, but will not have time to visit inside. We will then get to Aberdeen where we will get the overnight ferry to Lerwick in Shetland. You can enjoy dinner onboard, or even a few drams at the ship's bar.
