About this tour
This eight-and-a-half-hour tour sweeps you through Fife's most picturesque corners, starting with a scenic coastal drive past working fishing villages. You'll spend roughly three hours in St Andrews, wandering its medieval streets and seafront, before heading inland to Falkland—a quaint hilltop settlement nestled beneath the Lomond Hills. The village gained fame as a filming location for Outlander and retains genuine charm beyond its television credentials. An experienced driver-guide handles navigation whilst you soak in the landscape.

What to expect
Your day begins with a pick-up from Edinburgh, then follows the scenic coastal route as your guide shares local history. The drive itself is unhurried, allowing genuine appreciation of Fife's landscape. Upon arrival in St Andrews, you're free to wander at your own pace—the castle, shops, and seafront are all within walking distance of one another. After lunch (self-catered), you'll drive to Falkland, a village where time feels slower. Streets are narrow, buildings are period-appropriate, and the palace grounds invite exploration. The return journey follows the same coastal path, ending back in Edinburgh by late afternoon.
