From Edinburgh, it's an interesting experience to cross the Firth of Forth by the modern road bridge which runs parallel to the old rail bridge. The rail bridge, a feat of engineering in its day, is now over a century old but still carries the main railway lines north of Edinburgh.
On the north side of the bridge is the region of Fife, characterised by fascinating little fishing villages along the coast of the "East Neuk". Spend a little time discovering Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail where the buildings, with their crow-stepped gables, tumble down to the harbours. Burntisland (Gruinard) is directly across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh. St. Andrews, mecca for golfers, is an attractive little town with the oldest university in Scotland, founded in 1410. Leuchars (Hillpark House) is just across the bay from St. Andrews and Dairsie (Todhall House & Westfield House) is a few miles to the west.
On the northern side of Fife, about halfway between St. Andrews and Perth, is Newburgh (Ninewells Farmhouse) whilst on the southern side, going back towards Stirling is Tillicoultry (Wyvis).
Falkirk (Darroch House) lies between Edinburgh and Stirling and is the site of a large Roman fort dating back to AD80, whilst Stirling itself (Ashgrove House & Firgrove) is well known, especially since the film 'Braveheart', and popular with tourists. The ancient Castle, built on a rocky outcrop, is in a strategic and commanding position which guaranteed its importance to the Scottish Crown. It changed hands between the warring English and Scots many times and Mary, Queen of Scots, was crowned here in 1543. William Wallace recaptured it from the English in 1297 and Robert the Bruce did the same in 1314. The Wallace Memorial is a pinnacled tower, 220 ft. high, with a statue of Wallace.
Travel north-west from Stirling towards Callander and turn off to Thornhill (Corshill Cottage) near Scotland's only lake, the Lake of Menteith. A few miles north of Stirling lies Dunblane (Westwood) site of a cathedral founded in the 12th century but mostly dating from the 13th-15th centuries. Beyond Dunblane the A9 heads north into Perthshire & The Trossachs or, bypassing Perth, take the road to Dundee or the A94 to Forfar.
The A94 road from Perth to Forfar passes near Glamis Castle birthplace of Elizabeth the Queen Mother. A few miles away is Kirriemuir (Purgavie Farm at Lintrathen) at the foot of Glens Isla, Prosen and lovely Glen Clova which stretch up into the mountains of Deeside and Lochnagar. On the coast to the south-east of Forfar is Carnoustie (Park House), another favourite for golfers.

From Angus and Kircardineshire through Stonehaven, the road travels north along the coast towards Aberdeen, the granite city. Before leaving Stonehaven, have a look at Dunnottar Castle which, although mostly a ruin, is spectacularly sited on a promontory of the cliffs jutting out into the often rough and stormy North Sea. |
