A private day tour from Edinburgh to St Andrews and Fife combines the home of golf, the East Neuk fishing villages and coastal scenery. We head across the Forth, through Fife to St Andrews (cathedral, castle, Old Course area), then optionally to the East Neuk -Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem -before returning to Edinburgh.
See our Kingdom of Fife guide for more on St Andrews and the East Neuk. For golf-specific transfers, see our St Andrews & East Coast golf transfers.
