The town's Medieval, Victorian and Edwardian streets are a delight to explore on foot, lined on both sides with beguiling shops and cozy hostelries. St. Andrews rich heritage includes the ruins of a 12th century cathedral and 13th century castle, which overlook the sweeping beach that was featured in the film Chariots of Fire. But it is the sands of St. Andrews links that have made the town most famous. Here, within sight of the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse, you can follow in the footsteps of golf's greatest champions... playing a round on the Old Course itself.
A land full of romance, of soaring castles on rocky crags, of hills, glens and silent lochs, a land of history and grandeur. Scotland truly provides a feast for all of your senses: the skirl of the pipes; the fresh taste of Scottish salmon; the sight of agile sheep amongst the heather; the heavy, sweet scent of the whisky distillery; the comforting warmth of tartan and tweed. The natural beauty of Scotland is legendary. Magnificent mountains and moorland are complemented by rich pastoral landscapes and dramatic sandy beaches. Tumbling streams descend into lochs which teem with salmon and trout, while eagles soar above wild open country where the stags still roam free.
