The town of St Andrews was originally known as Kilrimont. In the 1840’s the town nearly went bankrupt, with the land for the golf course being used to raise rabbits. St Andrews has the third oldest university in Britain this prestigious university was founded in 1410, notable recent graduates include Prince William, who graduated with a 2:1 in geography.
St Andrews is deemed to be the home of golf, the sport has been played in the town for over 600 years. The Old Course is arguably the most famous course in the world. Interestingly enough, the first 12 Opens were actually played at Prestwick. All comers could use the courses facilities and come and play for free on the old course up until 1913, with locals being able to play for free up until as late as 1946.
The town is a shoppers paradise the medieval layout of the town centre make it perfect for exploring. Visitors can wander through the towns meandering streets, browsing the vast selection of vibrant and eclectic shops on offer. The high street has a distinctly different feel and look to a ‘normal’ U.K high street, it’s refreshingly free from large retailers and chain stores, with independents and family run shops running the roost amongst these bustling streets.
