The day
About this tour
Out of Edinburgh and over the Forth, with a private guide and a separate driver for the whole day. The road follows the East Neuk of Fife through Anstruther and Pittenweem, fishing villages that are working harbours rather than museum pieces, and your guide brings their stories to life as the coast unfolds.
St Andrews itself is the Home of Golf, and the Old Course is the heart of it. Beyond it lie the cathedral ruins, the castle on the cliff and the East Sands, in the university town where Prince William and Kate Middleton met as students, and your guide can show you where.
On the way back, there is the option of a whisky tour and tasting at Kingsbarns Distillery, in the land where Scotch is believed to have been born nearly five hundred years ago. It is a fitting end to a day of coastline, history and quiet charm.
