St Andrews & NYE Dinner
After breakfast travel a short distance to St Andrews, the “home of golf.” Enjoy a talk, tasting and light lunch in a local brewery and some free time before heading back to Edinburgh for the Hogmanay festivities. In the evening, join your fellow travelers for a New Year’s Eve dinner in the heart of old town at Cannonball Restaurant & Bar.

It’s rumoured to have been fired by Government troops towards Holyrood Palace when Bonnie Prince Charlie was in residence in 1745.) The remainder of the evening is yours to celebrate ringing in the New Year. Celebrate in style by joining in the street party and watching the fireworks.
