On this tour, you will discover the wonderful, historical town of St. Andrews, explore the beautiful Fife fishing villages, and visit a Whisky distillery, on this fantastic day trip from Edinburgh. Do it with Scotland's favourite tour company, 'The Hairy Coo', as rated by users of Tripadvisor. You'll get to see the beauty of Scotland, through the eyes of a passionate and knowledgeable, local tour guide.
Tour Highlights:
Leaving Edinburgh, you'll cross the Firth of Forth, taking a wonderful drive down the coastline, heading towards the picturesque fishing village of Anstruther. Here, you'll stop for refreshments and a stroll around the harbour of this popular artists' hideaway on the Fife coast.
Heading towards St. Andrews, you can meet a herd of famous Hairy 'Highland' Coos, before you discover a 1,200 year-old, pagan-worship site in the Fife woodland. Your guide will enthusiastically explain the history of this rather secret and mysterious place.
You'll then arrive at the lovely, historic, university town of St. Andrews for around midday. You'll be given a map so you can find your way around this beautiful little town, and let loose to spend your time here as you please.
You'll have approximately 3 hours to have lunch, walk the beautiful beach, across the famous 'Old Course', or enjoy a wee round of golf (well, putting, at the famous and challenging 'Himalayas' putting green!).
For lunch, we suggest trying the famous 'Tailend Fish Bar' in the heart of St. Andrews. The fish and chips here are outstanding, but of course there are many other wonderful places to lunch if you are not a fan of seafood.
If history is your thing, visit the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, St. Andrews Castle, or Scotland's oldest University.
Keen golfers can visit the golf museum, budding Jacques Cousteaus, the aquarium. You'll have more than enough time to browse the boutique shops, or sample the cafes and bars of this famous little town, where Prince William and Kate Middleton (now Duchess of Cambridge!) met, whilst studying here.
You'll then visit the famouse Tullibardine Whisky distillery in the village of Blackford, for a tour and a wee dram of Scotch whisky ('uisge beatha' - the water of life!). On the way, you'll travel through the beautiful Glen Devon, and pass Loch Leven Castle near Kinross, where 'Mary Queen of Scots' was imprisoned.

We'll then head back towards Edinburgh, via Stirling Castle, getting an unrivalled view of 'The Key to Scotland', before you arrive back in the city at approximately 6-6.30pm.
Rival companies will charge you up to £43 for what we believe to be far inferior tours to this (but we're biased, of course!), whereas our prices start at just £27 per guest.
