Historical Adventure to St Andrews and Dundee - Full-Day Small Group Tour

  • 9 heures

Embark on a day tour from Aberdeen to discover the vibrant city of Dundee and the charming historic town of St Andrews. Here's hoping you get a sunny day because today you're going to get to know the coastline pretty well. Sun shimmering off Scottish water. Believe it or not, we do get sun here. But even if it's a cloudy day, the Scottish coastline is as stunning as it is dramatic. You leave Aberdeen, 'The Granite City', and head south along the coastline and through the countryside towards Dundee.

Your driver-guide will drop you near the waterfront, which is perfect for you not just because of the views, you'll also be close to the V&A Dundee. This international centre for design showcases the best of Scottish creativity, and design from around the world.

Or, if you prefer, you also have the Royal Research Ship Discovery to explore. Built in Dundee, it was the first purpose-built Antarctic Survey vessel and at the beginning of the 20th century, it took the first British expedition of the modern era to Antarctica, including Irish explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. Enjoy the Discovery's extensive galleries, videos and films, interactive displays and artefacts.

Or perhaps exploring the city and waterfront is at the top of your list. The time is yours to do as you please.

After you visit Dundee, we journey over the Tay Road Bridge with views over the Firth of Tay. We then enter one of the remaining ancient kingdoms of Scotland... the Kingdom of Fife. The home of golf, a hub for outdoor enthusiasts, and landscapes spotted with history, Fife is a world of its own.

We continue south to the medieval town of St Andrews. St Andrew is the patron Saint of Scotland and according to legend, his remains were washed up on the Fife coast. St Andrews is also home to the third oldest university in Britain and is proud of its dramatic cliff-perched castle ruins.

Not to mention, St Andrews is the home of golf. Golf fanatics will love getting to know the Grand Old Lady, also known as the Old Course at St Andrews, considered the oldest golf course. You have around two and a half hours to explore this fascinating town.

After St Andrews, we take a pleasant drive through the rolling countryside back to Aberdeen.
