What to expect
Queensferry Crossing

After collection on dry land, we’ll cross over the Firth of Forth river via the impressive Queensferry Crossing into the Kingdom of Fife.
Falkland
45m
Travelling north, our first stop will be Falkand — a charming village nestled in the heart of Fife that’s frozen in time. Wander the cobbled streets to visit Falkland Palace, a Renaissance gem with lush gardens, or admire the Bruce Fountain, which you may recognise from the hit TV show Outlander. Follow in the footsteps of Claire and Jamie in the town square, and even pop into Mrs Baird’s for a coffee!
St. Andrews
2h 15m
Then we’ll move on towards our next stop and highlight of your excursion… the town of St Andrews. It may be known as the home of golf, but there’s much more to this historic town than its famous courses. The town was the religious capital of the country and the site of the protestant reformation in Scotland. Not to mention it’s home to Scotland’s oldest university, considered one of the most prestigious in the world, with famous alumni including Prince William and Kate Middleton.
This will be our lunch stop.
Crail
20m
Our route will take us through the villages of Anstruther, Pittenweem and Crail.
Crail boasts one of the oldest and most picturesque harbours in Scotland, dating back to the 16th century. A fantastic introduction to the 'East Neuk'.
Anstruther Harbour
Pass by
The most popular town and largest harbour on the East Neuk. On sunny days the queue for the world famous Anstruther Fish Bar can stretch a fair distance.
Pittenweem
20m
Pittenweem is associated with St Fillan. Legend has it that St Fillan’s Cave, located nearby, was used by the saint as a place of retreat and contemplation. Pilgrims often visit this site seeking solace and a connection to Scotland's ancient spiritual history. The history of pilgrimage through Fife dates back centuries.
Pittenweem is also home to the only working harbour on the East Neuk. Here, local fishing boats will land their daily catch.
