About St. Andrews

St Andrews is a medieval coastal town in Fife, the home of golf, with Scotland's oldest university, a ruined cathedral and castle, and long sandy beaches.

St Andrews stands on the east coast of Fife, on a rocky shore beside the North Sea, and is known throughout the world as the home of golf, which has been played on the Old Course since the fifteenth century. The University of St Andrews, founded in 1413, is the oldest in Scotland and among the oldest in the English-speaking world, and students in red gowns are a familiar sight in the stone streets.
