Our first guide, Graeme Giles, met us as we stepped off the gangway.instantly identifiable thanks to his Kilt ensemble! Very dashing! Admittedly his Scottish Brogue was pretty thick..he tried to slow down when talking..but we likely deciphered about half of what he said! We drove straight to St Andrews from the Edinburgh Dock. Did not see the Rail Road bridge. Upon entering St Andrews we headed for a tour of the Cathedral. Graeme was often stopped so a passerby could take a photo of him! No question,,,he loved that!! We visited the University of St Andrews, followed by lunch in the well known Grey Friars pub. After lunch, shopping began in a number of golf shops that Graeme frequents. Next he talked us onto the 18th green vantage point at the LPGA tournament. Graeme seems to be known in St Andrewsand we received quick service where ever we went. There was a question if we could get into the R&A Museum due to the tournament, but Graeme managed to secure our entrance. The ride back to the ship went along country roads,,,,he was a master at avoiding traffic. As we arrived in good time back to the ship, Graeme asked us to come to the back of this van, we did, where he produced a bottle of Scotch Whiskey and teeny drinking cups. A good-by toast followed. He presented the Barb and me two Scottish Terrierthe name of the tour company,,,pins. Was a lovely day.and we managed to dodge all rain once we got out of Edinburgh.
