Itinerary
1
Falkland
Starting your tour from the port of South Queensferry, we will drive 40 minutes East for our first main stop of the day - the historic village of Falkland. We have around 30-45 minutes here to have a wonder around the village and grab a coffee and sweet treat. This village was used in the popular TV show ‘Outlander’ acting as the town of Inverness, so you may recognise the Bruce Fountain from season 1. You will also see the outside of the magnificent Falkland Palace. This is where James V died from an illness induced by shock and grief of his army’s defeat at Solway Moss.
45 minutes
2
St. Andrews
Driving out of Falkland we will journey 40 minutes east towards the town of St Andrews; passing through farmland and small villages.
Arriving in St Andrews your guide will drive around the town pointing out attractions and points of interest before dropping you in the town to give you time to explore as you please - maybe enjoy some lunch at the famous Tom Morris restaurant at the St Andrews Links Clubhouse.
Another option could be to visit the main sites, such as the Wardlaw Museum, St Andrews Castle, Cathedral and Golf Course, then get your guide to take you to the Cheesy Toast Shack on East Beach on the way out of the town. Others may wish to recreate the scene from the 1981 movie Chariots of Fire on West Beach or putt some balls on the famous Himalayas Putting green which also offers fantastic views of the 18th green and clubhouse for the Old Course. No visit would be complete without that famous picture of the 700-year-old Swilcan Bridge.

Crail
After St Andrews we will spend the latter part of the day driving down to East Neuk to visit the quaint fishing villages of Crail, Pittenweem & Anstruther. Visit all three villages for photos or concentrate on one or two villages spending a little longer there.
You may wish to pick up some Fish & Chips at the famous Anstruther Fish Bar or save yourself for arrival back into Edinburgh. We will leave the last village around 1600 to drive back to the port to get you onboard in plenty of time.
