Today's tour starts at the eighth Wonder of the World, the Forth Bridge, and goes up through the Kingdom of Fife. One Scottish King called Fife a beggar's mantle fringed with gold '; now the guide takes you to a Fife town where gold is extracted from the air. The tour then continues to the home of golf the world over, St. Andrews, and across the longest bridge in Britain to visit busy Dundee and romantic Perth; then on to Aberdeen, the Silver City, and further north to the fishing villages, the school that the Duke of Edinburgh went to, and ending at the Moray Firth.
