Discover the highlights of St. Andrews and Dundee on a private shore excursion from Aberdeen. Explore the historical allure of St. Andrews Old Town, visit the famous St. Andrews Old Course, and explore the nautical museums and historical waterfront in Dundee.
Meet your guide at the port terminal in Aberdeen and head south along the coastline and through the countryside towards Dundee. Drop 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 center 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. 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 artifacts. Or perhaps exploring the city and waterfront is at the top of your list.
After your visit to Dundee, journey over the Tay Road Bridge with views over the Firth of Tay. 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. 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. 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.

Cobh/Cork: Blarney Castle, Kinsale & Cork City Shore Tour
This was a fantastic experience! Beautiful drive, well planned tour, very nice bus. No regrets at all booking this independently instead of through the cruise line. We went the same places the cruise line excursions did and had a much better value! ... Our tour guide was excellent as well! Highly recommend!
