St Andrews

Golf's spiritual home

St Andrews is a town on the east coast of Scotland, known primarily as the home of golf—the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, founded there in 1754, remains the sport's governing authority outside the Americas.

The town also houses the University of St Andrews, Scotland's oldest university.

We made a pilgrimage to St Andrews to play the Old Course.
