What to expect
Your driver collects you from Edinburgh and heads north towards Fife. The drive itself covers roughly 50 miles; en route, you'll have chances to stretch legs and photograph landscapes. Once in St Andrews, the pace is entirely yours. Wander the university's medieval streets, browse the harbour where fishing boats still operate, or visit courses steeped in golfing legend. You might explore local distilleries, sample regional produce, or simply sit on the shore. The return journey retraces the route back to Edinburgh.
Good to know
