Nowhere else in Scotland is like St Andrews, not just a handsome historic town but a community with a unique story.
St Andrews was once the site of the largest and most important cathedral in Scotland, and is the home of Scotland’s oldest university. As if these were not distinctions enough, this seaside town has a unique part in the story of Scottish golf.
For the visitor today, all three elements are quite obvious: the romantically ruined cathedral dominates the skyline, the streets in term time are filled with chattering students, while the quality of the shopping suggests that plenty of golf widows are here with money to spend!
