There is nowhere quite like St Andrews. It has world renowned golf courses, miles and miles of sandy beaches, fabulous coastal walks, world class restaurants and the history of being an esteemed University town. There is something for everybody here.
For golfers there are more than 20 courses within a 20 mile radius of the house and many of these courses apart from the St Andrews Links Trust courses are championship courses in their own right the Dukes, Kingsbarns, Lundin Links and Ladybank to mention but a few.
The history of the Town is remarkable dating as far back as Queen Margaret escaping across the River Forth from the forces of William the Conqueror in 1071. The Consecration of the Cathedral in 1318 in the presence of King Robert the Bruce who rode his horse up the central isle was indeed remarkable! This University town is steeped in history and is a place of pilgrimage for many. There is a diverse array of festivals, cultural activities, with fine museums to be visited.
There are also many things to do in the Town. The Byre Theatre, established in 1933 promotes excellent shows throughout the year and the variety and range of restaurants are exceptional with the array of boutique shopping quite fabulous. St Andrews is a very special place.
St Andrews is renowned world wide as the ‘Home of Golf’. The Old Course is a regular host to the Open Championship which was last held there in July 2015.

There are now six further golf courses run by the St Andrews Links Trust, including the Castle Course opened in 2009. There are many other golf courses in the area including the Duke’s Course, two courses at Fairmount, St Andrews Bay and Kingsbarns.
