wife went to uni there - the b939 to cupar onto a913 merging into the a912 through bridge of earn was my preferred route.

not done it for a number of years but since most folk stick to the a91 or a92 destination dependant theres no real reason for either to be any busier than they were back then .

The road from Tay bridge to Newburgh is nice could use it as part of route to Perth

I'd suggest look at the os map, back roads towards Clayton holiday park, turn right just before the park, head up to Logie down to the main Rd turn left for a wee bit then turn right up towards Gauldry then head along the silvery Tay.It's all easy to find but so many quiet roads to get there much easier with a map if your not acquainted with the area

Head north to Leuchars, Newburgh and along the south bank of the Tay. Nice route, quiet roads and some cyclepath.

This is a good one if you're feeling like a few more miles. Taking in fantastic views on both sides of the Tay if you do the loop or either side if you're going one way only. https://www.strava.com/routes/4810370

This would also be a good route from St Andrews giving you a get out if the weathers bad and if the weather's good then you can stop for a bite in Ceres which is a very nice little place to rest tired legs. https://www.strava.com/routes/4810504

Hopefully the links work.

Be aware that the road from St Andrews to Leuchars is pretty miserable to cycle due to it being winding and busy. I'd avoid it. There is a cycle path that goes beside it but personally I'd rather ride on quite roads rather than next to a busy one. I live only a few miles from St Andrews so if you want any other ideas of where might be good just let me know.
