St Andrews and the Kingdom of Fife Tour from Glasgow

Believe in monsters? While in Scotland, steer clear of the water, not for Nessie, but for the kelpies—deadly shape-shifters resembling horses. Your first stop is the Kelpies Monument, a grateful sight considering their real-life enormity. Created by artist Andy Scott, these icons represent Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron, symbolizing the lineage of heavy horses in Scottish history.Leave the kelpies behind for a scenic drive through the Kingdom of Fife to Falkland, dominated by Falkland Palace. Recognized by Outlander fans as 1940s Inverness, the village boasts charming cottages and narrow streets. Next, explore the medieval town of St Andrews, home to the patron Saint of Scotland, the third oldest British university, and a cliff-perched castle. Enjoy three hours to explore.On your way back to Glasgow, stop at Queensferry Crossing for a view of the Forth Rail Bridge, one of Scotland's greatest man-made landmarks. Arrive back in Glasgow in the early evening.
