Falkland

Driving further north over the new Queensferry Crossing Bridge the longest cable stayed bridge in the world we will travel 40 minutes arriving into the historical village of Falkland. We have around 45 minutes here to have a wonder around the village and grab a coffee and sweet treat. This village was used in the popular TV show ‘Outlander’ acting as the town of Inverness, so you may recognise the Bruce Fountain from season 1. You will also see the outside of the magnificent Falkland Palace. This is where James V died from an illness induced by shock and grief of his army’s defeat at Solway Moss.

Your guide will drive around the town pointing out attractions and points of interest before dropping you in the town to give you time to explore as you please - maybe enjoy some lunch at the famous Tom Morris restaurant at the St Andrews Links Clubhouse (Advanced booking recommended)Another option could be to visit the main sites, such as the Wardlaw Museum, St Andrews Castle, Cathedral and Golf Course, then get your guide to take you to the Cheesy Toast Shack on East Beach on the way out of the town. Others may wish to recreate the scene from the 1981 movie Chariots of Fire on West Beach or putt some balls on the famous Himalayas Putting green which also offers fantastic views of the 18th green and clubhouse for the Old Course. No visit would be complete without that famous picture of the 700-year-old Swilcan Bridge.Time in town is self guided but we can help maximise time here with advice and tips on what to do and see.
