Wander medieval streets where golf was born, as the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral stand sentinel over the town like a crumbling chess piece. The Old Course awaits with its hallowed fairways, though locals might direct you to less famous links with equally stunning sea views. University students in their distinctive red gowns create living history among ancient quads and cobblestones. Duck into harbourside pubs where fishermen and professors debate over pints and fresh-caught seafood. The Scores pathway offers dramatic cliff-top views that explain why royalty and commoners alike have been drawn here for centuries.
