Description

The East Neuk features coastal villages with a distinct fishing heritage, retaining original harbours, modern creel boats, and traditional fishermen’s cottages. The tour continues to St Andrews, where you have ample time to explore this historic town.
St Andrews is known as the home of golf, with highlights including the Old Course and the Swilcan Bridge on the 18th fairway. The town also contains a 12th century castle and neighbouring cathedral, reflecting its former status as Scotland’s ecclesiastical capital. The University of St Andrews, founded in 1416, is Scotland’s oldest university and offers many interesting buildings alongside a lively town centre with independent shops and eateries.
