Now most famous for its unrivalled golfing facilities, the town offers the visitor a vast variety of attractions and events from museums, beaches, restaurants, art gallery’s, shops, gardens and parks to the Highland games and the Lammas Fair. The town provides a unique blend of history, recreation and charm which has made St Andrews one of the most popular destinations in Scotland today and also a perfect base from which to explore Fife’s unique coastal fishing villages or to enjoy some wonderful walking or cycling.
