Itinerary
Discover the charm of Scotland’s east coast on a full-day St Andrews tour from Edinburgh. Journey along the Fife Coastal Route, passing through the East Neuk of Fife, a region dotted with fishing villages like Anstruther with its charming harbour and stone cottages. Spend time exploring St Andrews at your own pace, either by wandering through castle ruins, stepping inside the old cathedral, or visiting the world’s most famous golf course. On the way back, enjoy a stop in Falkland, known for its royal palace and Outlander connections, before returning to Edinburgh via the impressive Forth Bridge.
day 1 - Coastal Path Of Fife & St Andrews
We start our St Andrews tour from Edinburgh in the morning with a scenic drive along the beautiful Fife Coastal Route. The journey is just as charming as the destination, with old-fashioned stone cottages, rolling coastal scenery, and picturesque fishing villages passing by your window.
Our first stop is Anstruther, the largest fishing village on the East Neuk of Fife. Take a relaxed stroll along the harbour, once a bustling centre for herring fishing and trade. Today it’s home to small boats, seagulls, and some of the best fish and chips in Scotland.
Next, we continue north to St Andrews, a town famous for its mix of history, learning, and seaside charm. You’ll have free time to explore and find a spot for lunch. History fans can visit St Andrews Castle, where the ruins overlook the sea. Take a walk through the remains, peek into the eerie Bottle Dungeon – one of Britain’s most notorious medieval prison cells – and follow the story of Scotland’s turbulent Reformation period through the castle’s audio guide.
If you prefer something different, St Andrews Cathedral is just a short walk away. Once the largest church in Scotland, its impressive ruins are open to explore, and you can climb St Rule’s Tower for sweeping views of the town and coastline. Golf lovers might want to head to the Old Course, the world’s oldest golf course and the heart of the game’s history; a true pilgrimage spot for players from around the globe.
On the way back to Edinburgh, we stop in Falkland, Scotland’s first conservation village. Stroll past beautifully restored cottages and visit Falkland Palace, a Renaissance gem once favoured by the Scottish royals. Fans of Outlander may recognise the village square from the show’s first episode.
Before we reach the capital, we pass the striking Forth Bridge, an engineering icon and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Completed in 1890, it’s often seen as one of Scotland’s greatest man-made wonders…a fitting sight to end the day! Your St Andrews tour from Edinburgh returns in the early evening, with plenty of time to enjoy dinner back in the city and reflect on a day well spent.
Imagine walking in the footsteps of Jamie and Claire from Outlander, with a local guide regaling all the gruesome history and stories which inspired Diana Gabaldon. We take you on a journey to some of the most famous Outlander filming locations such as Midhope Castle, the real-life Lallybroch, Doune Castle, the seat of Clan MacKenzie, and the impressive Blackness Castle, the setting for Fort William. Your guide will share the history behind each location, making this Outlander tour from Edinburgh the perfect journey for fans eager to step into Scotland’s storied past.
Set off on an adventurous walk across the Scoraig Peninsula, complete with a scenic boat journey to this remote Highland outpost. This unique tour blends the excitement of a boat ride with the tranquility of a peninsula hike, offering sweeping views of the sea and rugged hills. The trip’s unique selling point is its sense of remoteness and the opportunity to explore a seldom-visited corner of Scotland, making it a true escape for intrepid travelers.
Imagine you came on this trip and saw the monster. Its gargantuan neck emerges from Loch Ness with an almighty ‘ROAR’! No doubt you’d take a picture and become an internet sensation.
Sadly, we can’t promise this’ll happen, but the trip will still be awesome. You will feast your eyes upon incredibly beautiful landscapes, including dramatic Glen Coe, while listening to our guide’s fascinating stories, on the way to Fort Augustus.
It’s the ultimate Loch Ness Monster tour from Edinburgh – mythical beasts not guaranteed, but epic views and legendary banter? You bet.
Witness the unspoiled beauty of Sandwood Bay on this unforgettable walking trip. Renowned for its sweeping sands and dramatic cliffs, Sandwood Bay is a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike. The walk to the bay traverses wild moorland and offers a sense of isolation rarely found elsewhere. The unique selling point: access to one of Scotland’s most magnificent and remote beaches, promising both tranquility and breathtaking scenery for those who venture here.
Step aboard the Harry Potter Train & The Scenic Highlands tour for an enchanting day of breathtaking Scottish scenery and magical moments. This full-day trip whisks you through the legendary landscapes surrounding Loch Ness and the rugged West Coast, with stops at ancient ruins, poignant war memorials, and serene beaches backed by soaring mountains. The highlight? A two-hour journey on the iconic Jacobite Steam Train, gliding over the world-famous Glenfinnan Viaduct—just like in the Harry Potter films. This sightseeing adventure is a must for fans and travelers alike, offering a rare chance to ride one of the world’s most scenic railways through the heart of the Highlands.
Looking for a day that encapsulates the essence of the Scottish Highlands? Set off from Edinburgh to explore the storied landscapes of Stirlingshire, Loch Lomond, and the West Highlands.
