The Old Course at St Andrews is the world’s most famous golf course and a must-see. Tee times are in high demand, so you’ll need to enter the daily ballot for a chance to play. If you don’t get a spot, there are six other great courses, like the New Course, Jubilee, and Castle Course, all open to visitors. Even if you’re not golfing, the Old Course is worth a visit: cross the iconic Swilcan Bridge, walk along West Sands Beach, or explore the British Golf Museum. Fun fact: on Sundays, the course will be closed to golfers and becomes a public park. You can stroll the fairways and take photos. For a drink with a view, head to the Jigger Inn, a cozy pub right by the 17th hole and one of our favorites.
We’re so excited for you to experience Edinburgh! If you’re flying in, you’ll likely arrive at Edinburgh Airport. From there, it’s about 1.5 hours to St Andrews by car or taxi, or you can take a train from Edinburgh Waverley to Leuchars (about an hour) and then a short taxi ride into town. If you have time to explore, Edinburgh is full of history, charm, and incredible views. Stroll the Royal Mile, visit Edinburgh Castle, and hike Arthur’s Seat for stunning panoramas. For something cozy, wander Dean Village or relax in Princes Street Gardens. Food and drinks? Try Dishoom for Indian, The Witchery for Scottish classics, and The Scran & Scallie for a gastropub vibe. Don’t miss Panda & Sons for cocktails or a pint at The Sheep Heid Inn, one of Scotland’s oldest pubs. Enjoy exploring before or after the wedding.
If you have extra time in Scotland, consider exploring the Highlands—Glencoe and the Isle of Skye are two unforgettable destinations. Glencoe is a stunning valley known for dramatic mountains, waterfalls, and scenic hikes—it’s about 2.5 hours from Edinburgh and perfect for a day trip or an overnight stop on the way to Skye. The Isle of Skye has stunning scenery: rugged cliffs, the Old Man of Storr, the Quiraing, and the sparkling Fairy Pools. It’s about 5 hours from Edinburgh, so many visitors stay a night or two. Driving is the easiest way to see both, but there are also guided tours from Edinburgh if you’d rather sit back and enjoy the views. Stop at the most photographed castle in Scotland on your way to Skye from Glencoe: Eilean Donan Castle!

Start with Stirling Castle, that once housed Mary, Queen of Scots. Just a short walk away, you'll find the site of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, where William Wallace led a pivotal victory against the English in 1297—a moment immortalized in Braveheart. Don't miss the National Wallace Monument, a towering tribute to Wallace's legacy, offering stunning views!
