There’s much more than golf to the picturesque medieval town of St Andrews. The perfect place for a day – or an evening – trip, St Andrews enjoys a rich history as a former ecclesiastical capital of Scotland and present-day home to the country’s oldest university. You can visit the romantic castle and cathedral ruins, or take a stroll through the 600-year-old quadrangles of St Andrews’ colleges. Those with an adventurous streak will want to follow the old student tradition and brave the stiff sea breezes with a walk along the rugged stone pier – enjoying the stunning view back to St Andrews.
