Pickup from Edinburgh

Your St Andrews tour begins when you are collected at your residence in Edinburgh, the Capital of Scotland, by your driver-guide.

The Queensferry Crossing

As we depart Edinburgh we’ll cross over the newly built Queensferry Crossing where we will see 3 magnificent bridges which span the river Forth. Each of these bridges was built in a different century!

Pittenweem

Next is Pittenweem: a fishing village that oozes charm. The harbour is a magnet for visitors. Photographers can take their pick between the brightly hulled fishing boats, or the jumble of red pantiled or grey slatted houses.

Anstruther

Next, we will pass through Anstruther, a busy, seaside village which is most famous for its award-winning fish and chips which taste even better eaten in the fresh air overlooking the lovely harbour.

St Andrews

St Andrews is a charming and historic town that attracts visitors from all over the world. St Andrews is known worldwide as The Home of Golf and also boasts Scotland’s oldest university.

St Andrews University, founded in 1410, dominates the centre of town. The elegant, ivy-clad buildings and delightful quadrangles and gardens have seen a procession of famous graduates such as Prince William. One of the top universities in Britain, St Andrews is often compared to Oxford and Cambridge for its defining presence and the collegiate feel it gives to the town.

The Medieval centre of St Andrews consists of a series of narrow alleys and cobbled streets with shops, restaurants, and cafés. Explore the castle, the now ruined cathedral, and the adjacent church of St Regulus.

Drop-off

Your St Andrews tour ends as you are dropped off at your residence in Edinburgh.
