St. Andrew’s : More Than Golf


It is the birthplace of golf and the University of St. Andrews which is the oldest in Scotland. Not only did Prince William study there but he also met his wife Kate. The chapel of the college of St. Andrews contains the pulpit where John Knox preached and in the grounds is a thorn tree which was reputedly planted be Mary, Queen of Scots.

When you think of impressive churches in Scotland you probably think of St. Andrews cathedral which is the largest and most magnificent medieval church in Scotland. Built in 1158, St. Andrews cathedral was once the centre of the medieval Catholic church. The relics of St. Andrew are said to have been brought there. Sadly it has been ruined in the Scottish revolution in 1600, however, the ruins are currently a monumentum in the custody of Historic Scotland which allow you to travel back in time and experience a close up of Scottish history.
