  • 5Sunny late afternoon tour

    Morgan gave us a good overview of the University, St. Salvatore’s Chapel, St. Andrew’s Cathedral and an introduction to the Old Course. He added some interesting tidbits about “Wills and Kate” and quite a bit of golf facts as he had worked on several local courses. We were fortunate to get to see the course, and take a photo on the Old Bridge despite the Dunhill Links practice rounds starting the day of our tour.

    That it is well worth a visit and to hear so much interesting information was great and to stand on the hallowed turf was awesome! Graeme White was excellent and covered everything extensively and with excellent knowledge and humour where needed

  • 5St Andrews town and golf

    Learned so much about the history of St Andrews, as it's not all about golf. I have to say I am a golfer and loved that part of the tour too!

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.
