No sizeable gems I’m aware of, Andy.
Coast road is scenic through East Neuk villages. Lots of photo opps in the wee harbours.
Might do worse than pick up Knockhill road, stop at Powmill for rolls and cake.
Then cruise across darkest Fife to Ellie and start the coastal tour

I did the Tourist route to Elie two weeks ago and it was crap. Too many 20s, Speed bumps etc. The only bit that was half decent was the bit at the end.

I know a few hidden gems.. some might remember when we went to Leuchers the second time, I planned a route with Richard Humble..
Will need to wait till i get home again to pull the routes off the computer.

Thanks Campbell - yeah struggling a bit with this, as the roads generally to St Andrews I dont recall being that great at all, but need to get out and drive so if you feel inspired to do the same, many thankscampbell wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 10:24 pmNo sizeable gems I’m aware of, Andy.

Yup totally agree Ed, that used to be good fun (when I was a kid we went there a lot) , but its now sh*t, busy, and a real PITA. Figure there has to be some great backroads I'm missing though.
Yes please John - that would be great - that was a while ago now that trip!!Victor Meldrew wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 11:17 pmI know a few hidden gems.. some might remember when we went to Leuchers the second time, I planned a route with Richard Humble..

South of St Andrews is pretty meh. Scenic as suggested but only ever fun for 500 yards at a time. Last breakfast meet up we did was up that way and for the southerners it was pretty dull sadly (the roads not the company at lunch! ) Much better Stirlingshire way.

Re: The Best Roads - South Queensferry to St Andrews
I will be honest. The first thing I do if I want an interesting run is head out of Fife via the shortest route possible.

Strung together a few of my favorite sections. Be warned though, not all of these are suitable for a mega low front splitter at speed, to be fair, that is the same for most of the back roads in Fife. Couple of speed bumps going through Lesley and watch for mud on the road after Newburgh.
