Morning
If your budget allows, book ahead for dinner at the Peat Inn (Cupar) or the Old Course (St Andrews).
Leave Edinburgh around 9am, cross the Forth Road Bridge (£1 toll) and visit Deep Sea World at North Queensferry (see Deep Sea World) . The fish will enthral you, so allow at least 90 minutes here.
Follow the coast road to Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and Falkland. Here, have some refreshment in the deliciously organic Greenhouse Restaurant before visiting Falkland Palace. Remember to see the Royal Tennis Court before you leave – it’s unique.
You may be hungry by now, but resist, as it’s only a short drive via Glenrothes and the A915 to Upper Largo, where the famous East Neuk begins. Every village from here on is enchanting. Lunch in Elie at the Ship Inn .
Afternoon
From here it’s pointless trying to advise you further because – as you continue along the coast to St Andrews, passing through Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail – you are bound to become distracted by this medley of coastal idylls and end up doing your very own thing regardless.
But don’t forget your reservation if you’ve booked dinner, and leave all the delights of St Andrews for another day. All this in just 95 miles (150 km)!
