From Queensferry we drive up and onto the Forth Road Bridge, this giving you a great view across the eighth wonder of the world &#8211; the Forth Rail Bridge. It is a true testament to Scottish engineering. Once over the bridge we enter the Kingdom of Fife. This is so called due to the unique geography of the area. We pass upper Largo and then into Crail. After a short stop in Crail, it is onto the medieval town of St Andrews. St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and the home to the oldest university in Scotland. St Andrews is also most famously known as the home of golf, where you will have 3 hours to explore. From St Andrews we cross the Lomond hills past Loch Leven and then it&rsquo;s straight back to Edinburgh.<\/p>\n<p>Includes:\u00a0 Transport by top of the range Mercedes minibus, professional Rabbie&rsquo;s driver guide, Rabbies discount card which entitles you to money off at selected restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions.<\/p>\n<p><u>Day 11:\u00a0 London for 6 nights<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Take a taxi from the hotel to the train station<\/p>\n<p><strong>1st\u00a0class train from Edinburgh to London<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Departure at 9:30 am, arrival at 1:49\u00a0 pm<\/p>\n<p>Take a taxi from the hotel to the train station<\/p>\n<p>Hotel on own<\/p>\n<p><u>Day 12:<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>1st\u00a0class train from London to Bath<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Departure at 9 am, arrival at 10:28 am<\/p>\n<p><strong>Private guide at disposal for 2 hour for private walking tour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All the main sights of the beautiful World Heritage City of Bath.
