IT MAY BE BEST KNOWN FOR GOLF, BUT SCOTTISH TOWN
ST ANDREWS HAS MANY OTHER HIDDEN TREASURES.
While St Andrews in Fife remains synonymous with gol昀椀ng excellence
– it’s known as the birthplace of golf and is home to the world's 昀椀rst
o昀케cial golf course – this medieval Scottish town o昀昀ers sophisticated
diversions that extend far beyond its seven world-renowned courses.
For the discerning traveller seeking cultural
enrichment or the non-gol昀椀ng companion
looking for alternative activities, St Andrews
presents a picturesque blend of history,
culture and luxury retail that rivals its
exceptional gol昀椀ng reputation.
Visually, St Andrews charms visitors with its
architectural heritage. Honey-coloured stone
buildings and ancient cobbled streets are
crowned by the imposing ruins of St Andrews
Cathedral and the dramatic 13th-century
castle perched on coastal cli昀昀s. Beyond
its historical treasures, the town is 昀氀anked
by some of Scotland's most picturesque
landscapes, from West Sands Beach to the
rugged Fife Coastal Path, o昀昀ering everything
from leisurely seaside walks to wildlife
spotting and quaint coastal villages.
St Andrews is also home to Scotland's oldest
university, founded in 1413. It has gained
extra fame as the place where The Prince
and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine
(then Kate Middleton) met as students.
