Crossing the Forth Bridge into the 'kingdom' of Fife, we travel along the East Neuk through fishing villages and harbour's, once thriving on the continental trade. We arrive at St. Andrews, famous for its ecclesiastical past, its oldest of universities and as the hallowed capital of golf. See the sites, have lunch and stroll along the beach, among the ruins or through the lanes for two hours or more.
Our afternoon takes us to Falkland, another charming village dominated by its 16th century palace. Its Renaissance facades are the earliest in Britain, its gardens a delight, and its tennis court the oldest (still in use) in Europe. Heading homeward we traverse the heart of the Lomond Hills, descending to Loach Leven (scene of Mary Stewart's imprisonment) and on to Edinburgh.
