What the Edinburgh Airport to St Andrews drive is actually like
The run north from Edinburgh Airport crosses the Queensferry Crossing then follows the M90 and A91 into Fife, which is a genuine 80 minutes with golf luggage rather than the hour a map suggests. Bags and clubs drive the vehicle class here: four golfers with four full bags need an estate or MPV, not a saloon, and we allocate on that basis at booking.
