The Kelpies · Culross · St Andrews · Forth Bridges
From Glasgow to the east coast: the Kelpies, Culross, St Andrews and Falkland in one day.
This day crosses the country from Glasgow to the Kingdom of Fife. The first stop is the Kelpies at Falkirk, then Culross, a village of cobbled streets and old houses that has hardly changed in centuries and will be familiar to Outlander fans. Lunch is in St Andrews, where you can walk to the cathedral ruins, the castle and the Old Course. In the afternoon you stop at Falkland, with its royal palace, and finish with a photo stop at the Forth Bridges on the way home. It's a small group of up to 16, which makes it a more relaxed day than most.
The places it stops at, in order. Routes can change with the weather and the traffic.
