Tour Itinerary

Tour Itinerary 

Starting your tour from either Glasgow, or the surrounding area, we will drive east towards the the famous Falkirk Kelpies where we will get time to stop for a photo and a refreshment. Leaving the Kelpies we will journey around 1H 20 minutes east towards the town of St Andrews; passing through farmland and small villages enroute. Arriving in St Andrews your guide will drive around the town pointing out attractions and points of interest before dropping you in the town to give you time to explore as you please - maybe enjoy some lunch at the famous Tom Morris restaurant at the St Andrews Links Clubhouse (Advanced booking recommended) or grab something light as you wonder around the town. Another option could be to visit the main sites, such as the Wardlaw Museum, St Andrews Castle, Cathedral and Golf Course, then get your guide to take you to the Cheesy Toast Shack on East Beach on the way out of the town. Others may wish to recreate the scene from the 1981 movie Chariots of Fire on West Beach or putt some balls on the famous Himalayas Putting green which also offers fantastic views of the 18th green and clubhouse for the Old Course. No visit would be complete without that famous picture of the 700-year-old Swilcan Bridge. This is all entirely down to your preference and we can make recommendations of what to do and see in the town on the day or contact us before the tour to help maximise your time in the town. We will have around 2.5 – 3 hours here. After St Andrews we will spend the latter part of the day driving down to East Neuk to visit the quaint fishing villages of Crail, Pittenweem & Anstruther. Visit all three villages for photos or concentrate on one or two villages spending a little longer there. You may wish to pick up some Fish & Chips at the famous Anstruther Fish Bar or save yourself for arrival back into Glasgow.
