About St Andrews - Home of Golf

Recognised worldwide as the ‘Home of Golf', St Andrews is a popular tourist destination which offers much more than golf alone.

A charming, picturesque royal burgh, the town is a place steeped in history, retaining many important historical sites and preserving the medieval layout of its town centre. An intricate network of streets and lanes around the University, ancient Cathedral and Castle invites exploration.

Located on Scotland 's east coast, St Andrews offers miles of unspoilt sandy beaches and is the perfect base from which to explore the wider Kingdom of Fife and the rest of Scotland. St Andrews today is a vibrant place of social history, culture and entertainment, with a theatre, museums and a wide range of restaurants.

With its idyllic setting, its unique history and its welcoming people, there really is no finer place to visit, whether for a short break or longer holiday.
