Activity itinerary

The Kelpies & The Helix

45m
Admission ticket not included

Departing Glasgow, we will travel towards The Helix in Falkirk, the home of the Kelpies. The Kelpies are named after two real Clydesdale working horses named Duke and Baron, these two huge structures are made from stainless steel weighing 300 tons each and standing at 30 meters tall.

Blackness Castle

1h
Admission ticket not included

We continue to Blackness Castle known as the ship that never sailed because from the seaward side it looks just like a great stone ship run aground. Originally a fort would have stood in this location before the castle was built. Blackness Castle went on to become a royal castle in 1453, a state prison and an ammunition depot, in the later 19th century. The castle has also been used in Outlander where it represented Fort William.

St. Andrews

We arrive in the historic medieval town of St Andrews in time for lunch. Here you can enjoy a walk around the historic town and visit the famous Old Course. Maybe even get a game on the Himalayas putting course. St Andrews is home to oldest university in Scotland, a ruined castle or visit the abbey. The town is named after the patron saint of Scotland. We will be at here for about two hours, enough to explore the cobbled streets, beach and have a bite to eat in the many cafes and restaurants.

Falkland

Falkland is a village in Fife where the Stuart kings and queens once lived and played. The palace is the main attraction here with its beautiful gardens and tennis court dating back to the 1500's where Mary Queen of Scots once played. Again a favourite with Outlander fans as this was 1940's Inverness in the show.

Crail

We will visit one of the many coastal villages in Fife for a photo stop.
