After enjoying some refreshments and home-baked goods, we drive to the quaint seaside town of St Andrews for time at leisure. Famous as the home of golf and its Royal connections, it’s the perfect place to explore independents shops, cute cafes and historical sights.

We spend today in Dundee where first we visit Discovery Point, the award-winning attraction which tells the story of RRS Discovery and Captain Scott’s amazing Antarctic expedition. After our visit, we step next door and explore the exciting V&A Dundee (free of charge although some exhibitions carry a separate charge), before we enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure exploring more of Dundee. Home to the famous publishing house of DC Thomson, see if you can spot all the statues of famous Beano and Dandy characters dotted around the city!
