Full Tour Itinerary
Departing Glasgow, our journey begins at The Helix in Falkirk, home to the Kelpies—Duke and Baron—the world's largest horse sculptures. These massive sculptures symbolise Scotland's folklore and engineering brilliance.
Next, we visit Culross, a charming 17th-century village on Fife's coast, famously featured as Cranesmuir Village in Outlander. Stroll its historic streets and soak in its timeless beauty.
Continuing to St Andrews, we explore Scotland's oldest university town. Enjoy free time to visit its cathedral, golf course, and picturesque streets, all steeped in history and royal connections.
Our next stop is Falkland, renowned for its Renaissance-style palace and quaint village streets. It is also recognisable as 1940s Inverness in Outlander.
On our return to Glasgow, we pause at the magnificent Forth Bridges, spanning three centuries of Scottish innovation. These architectural masterpieces provide a perfect photo opportunity before ending our one-day tour back in Glasgow.
