Your first stop on this tour is to see the Kelpies Monument, created by artist Andy Scott. It is modeled after Clydesdale horses Duke and Baron, which symbolize the lineage of heavy horses throughout Scottish history that helped shape the surrounding region of Falkirk.
Leaving behind these awe-inspiring creatures, it's time for a pleasant drive through the rolling countryside of the Kingdom of Fife to Falkland. Falkland Palace dominates this old village, and was one of the main residences of the old Royal family of Scotland, the Stewarts (Stuarts). Aside from the palace, the village is simply one of the most beautiful in Scotland, with an array of old cottages and narrow winding streets. Outlander fans may recognize this as the location for 1940s Inverness in the popular TV series.
Next up is where you've been waiting for: 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 a beautiful ruined castle perched on a cliff. You have a few hours to explore this fascinating town and its impressive landmarks.
As you head back towards Glasgow, stop in at Queensferry Crossing and get a great view of one of Scotland's greatest man-made landmarks, the Forth Rail Bridge. Arrive back in Glasgow in the early evening to wrap up your full-day tour.
