St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the 'Home of Golf’. There are seven golf courses under the management of the St Andrews Links Trust. The Old Course is arguably the most famous golf course in the world and played host to the 150th Open Championship in 2022. There are many other golf courses in the area including the Duke’s Course, St Andrews Bay, Kingsbarns and Dumbarnie.

St Andrews is also well known for its university which is one of the oldest in Britain, founded in 1413. The historic town has a good range of shops, hotels, restaurants and recreational and cultural facilities which include The Byre Theatre. Beyond St Andrews is the East Neuk of Fife, with a spectacular coastline which boasts fishing villages built around picturesque harbours and sandy unspoilt beaches.

Access to St Andrews by rail, road and air is good. Leuchars railway station (8 miles) is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a link to Dundee and Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport, with a wide range of domestic and international flights, is 50 miles away and Dundee Airport is 15 miles.
