The Journey
Loch Leven
Discover the serene beauty of Loch Leven, a vast and tranquil loch dominated by the imposing Lochleven Castle. It was here, amidst these reflective waters, that Mary, Queen of Scots, was held prisoner in 1567. Take in breathtaking views and immerse yourself in the dramatic history of this iconic Scottish landmark, a poignant reminder of a queen's turbulent fate.
Falkland
Step back in time as you explore Falkland, Scotland's first conservation village. Wander through its perfectly preserved cobbled streets, home to Falkland Palace, a royal residence steeped in history. Admire the palace's Renaissance architecture, once a favored retreat of the Stuart monarchs. And for fans of the TV series 'Outlander,' recognize the village's cinematic charm, vividly brought to life on screen.
St Andrews
Experience the allure of St Andrews, a town steeped in history, learning, and the spirit of golf. Legend whispers that relics of Saint Andrew, Scotland's patron saint, were brought here, leading to the founding of its magnificent, now-ruined Cathedral. Immerse yourself in the academic atmosphere of St Andrews University, where Prince William and Kate Middleton famously met. And of course, no visit is complete without paying homage to the hallowed grounds of the Old Course, the oldest public golf course in the world, where the game has been played for over 600 years. This is a must-visit for any golf enthusiast.
Lindores Abbey Distillery
Delve into the world of Scotch whisky at Lindores Abbey Distillery, built on the site of the original Lindores Abbey, founded in 1191. Discover the story behind Scotland's oldest documented whisky production, dating back to 1494.
