Full Tour Itinerary
Departing Glasgow, our journey begins at The Helix in Falkirk, home to the Kelpies—Duke and Baron—the world's largest horse sculptures. These massive sculptures symbolise Scotland's folklore and engineering brilliance.
Next, we visit Culross, a 17th-century village on the Fife coast that appeared as Cranesmuir in Outlander. Walk its old streets and take in the atmosphere.
Then we head to St Andrews, Scotland's oldest university town. You will have time to see the cathedral, the golf course, and to walk the historic streets.
Our next stop is Falkland, renowned for its Renaissance-style palace and quaint village streets. It is also recognisable as 1940s Inverness in Outlander.
On the way back to Glasgow, we stop at the impressive Forth Bridges, which show three centuries of Scottish engineering. It’s a great spot for photos before we finish our one-day tour in Glasgow.
