Description

Head north to Fife on a full day of exploring, departing from Edinburgh. You will get a sample of life in the area and come to understand the culture and history of the region. Your trip begins as you cross the Firth of Forth, passing the famous Forth Railway Bridge, before your first stop: Falkland. This is a beautiful village frozen in time, and has featured in Outlander. You can browse the craft shops or visit Falkland Palace*, which has the oldest tennis courts in use anywhere in the world. Next is St. Andrews. The town boasts a stunning beach, great cafes and shops, a beautiful university, and an ancient cathedral. Additionally, it is known as the spiritual home of golf.
