The tour allowed us time for viewing the Kelpies and a few hours to visit St. Andrews which were our priorities. The tour departure was a few minutes late as we waited for a person running behind time. We arrived back in Glasgow on time. Our driver/ guide Stephen was knowledgeable,well spoken and had a fun personality.
