What to expect
Your guide collects you from Edinburgh and drives you north across the Forth Bridge into Fife. Early stops include Highland cattle encounters and the picturesque village of Falkland, recognisable from Outlander scenes. You'll then reach St Andrews, where you have time to wander the medieval town centre, visit independent shops and cafés, and view the Old Course from outside the clubhouse. The afternoon takes you down the coast to Anstruther, a working fishing village where you can grab lunch (own cost) and browse the harbour. Weather permitting, Pathhead Sands offers a beach walk to search for sea glass and smooth stones. Throughout the day, your guide shares local knowledge and adjusts the pace to suit your group's interests.
