Join me for a walk around the centre of St Andrews, one of the most historic towns in Scotland! Formerly the country's most important religious site, at one point home to the largest cathedral in Europe, St Andrews is today well-known for its medieval heritage, as well as its legendary university (the oldest in Scotland), and its spectacular golf course (the oldest in the world!).
On our walk around St Andrews, we pass a number of fascinating landmarks, including St Andrews Cathedral, St Andrews Bay, Castle Sands Beach, Castle Pool (May Dip Pool), St Andrews Castle, All Saints' Church, St Andrews Heritage Musuem & Garden, St. Rule's Tower, The Pends, St Andrews War Memorial, North Street, St. Salvator's Chapel, Salvator's Quad, St Andrews Union Coffee Bar, Market Street, the Whyte-Melville Memorial Fountain, South Street, Blackfriars and West Port Gate.
