Contrast elegant architecture with sweeping coastal views. Compare the ruins of a wind-swept castle with the curves of an ancient golf course. And visit Scottish villages and towns that offer far more than their small size should allow.

What To Expect
Forth Bridge
Say goodbye to Edinburgh as we head towards one of Scotland's most iconic viewpoints: the Forth Bridges Viewpoint. Opened in 1890, 1964, and 2017, these three bridges -despite their differences - oddly complement each other.
Anstruther Harbour
Stop in the traditional fishing village of Anstruther (known as 'Ainster' locally), where you can check out the old cobbled streets and take a walk along the seafront to the harbour.

5.00A full day that seemed to fly by. Ewan was a wonderful driver and tour guide, full of information and historical facts that helped us understand how it all came to be. St. Andrews is a beautiful little town with great shops and places to eat and is the birthplace of golf. Well worth the visit.

5.00It was a great way to see other cities/towns outside of Edinburgh and not have to worry about driving or planning how to get there. The amount of time at each stop was enough time to get a feel for the places, eat and wander. We also had a beautiful sunny day. Thank you Kenny!
