You can walk through the steep, narrow streets, explore the quays and beaches and generally enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of these places.

Next, your break will take you to St Andrews, a town steeped in history and charm . Here you can visit St Andrews Castle and the ruins of the cathedral, both of which have a long history behind them. You'll also have time to stroll along the harbour and sunbathe on the beach, all at your own pace .

St Andrews is known as the birthplace of golf and, if you're a fan, you won't want to miss the opportunity to visit some of the world's most famous golf courses.

Finally, the drive will take you back to Edinburgh through the beautiful Lomond Hills and along the shores of Loch Leven . On the return journey, you can admire the majesty of the Forth Rail Bridge from South Queensferry once again, as you bid farewell to an unforgettable day full of history, culture and natural beauty.
