Enjoy a charming one day tour from Edinburgh at a relaxed pace, with plenty of free time to explore Scotland’s home of golf, the ancient town of St. Andrews and the fishing villages of the “Kingdom of Fife”.

The St Andrews & The Fishing Villages of Fife tour departs from Edinburgh and heads North East. Admire the three bridges over Firth of Forth, while crossing the iconic Forth Bridge. Your journey continues  into the ancient “Kingdom of Fife”, passing through Aberdour before continuing into the East Neuk of Fife.

Your first stop is in the small town of Anstruther, home of the Scottish Fisheries Museum. This charming fishing village is the largest of the fishing villages along the stretch of the Fife coast. The tour takes you through the villages of Pittenweem, Crail and St. Monans, once thriving fishing centres, which were made prosperous by trade within the continent.
