St Andrews has been a Royal Burgh since 1140 when founded by King David I. It has been a thriving market town for centuries and today much of the layout reflects the medieval history of the town when it was a religious centre for pilgrimage. The University was founded in 1413 and is the oldest in Scotland. Many historic buildings survive - some dating back to the Middle Ages. Wherever you wander the past is always present amongst the hidden Pends, Closes and Wynds.

Whilst for many it is golf that brings them to town, Champions and Dreamers alike, others come to study at the famous St Andrews University or to enjoy the splendid beaches, the countryside and the coast.

St Andrews is a special place - discover it's delights for yourself.
