The tour continues to St Andrews, the world-famous home of golf, where centuries of history unfold in this charming seaside town that has played a key role in Scotland’s past.

Activity itinerary

The Kelpies & The Helix
  • 45m
Departing Glasgow or Edinburgh, we will travel towards The Helix in Falkirk, the home of the Kelpies. The Kelpies are named after two real Clydesdale working horses named Duke and Baron, these two huge structures are made from stainless steel weighing 300 tonnes each and standing at 30 metres tall.
Blackness Castle
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
We continue to Blackness Castle known as the ship that never sailed because from the seaward side it looks just like a great stone ship run aground. Originally a fort would have stood in this location before the castle was built. Blackness Castle went on to become a royal castle in 1453, a state prison and an ammunition depot, in the later 19th century. The castle has also been used in Outlander where it represented Fort William.
St. Andrews
  • 2h
We arrive in the historic medieval town of St Andrews in time for lunch. Here you can enjoy a walk around the historic town and visit the famous Old Course. Maybe even get a game on the Himalayas putting course. St Andrews is home to oldest university in Scotland, a ruined castle or visit the abbey. The town is named after the patron saint of Scotland. We will be at here for about two hours, enough to explore the cobbled streets, beach and have a bite to eat in the many cafes and restaurants. If you want to visit the castle there is a charge which is not included.
Crail
  • 30m
We will visit one of the many coastal villages in Fife for a photo stop.
Falkland Palace & Garden
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Falkland is a village in Fife where the Stuart kings and queens once lived and played. The palace is the main attraction here with its beautiful gardens and tennis court dating back to the 1500's where Mary Queen of Scots once played. Again a favourite with Outlander fans as this was 1940's Inverness in the show.
