St Andrews Coast Guide St Andrews is equally famous for its golf traditions and for its University, it is also a pleasant coastal town and seaside resort. It has been in the news recently as the place where Prince William and Kate Middleton met while studying at the University.
St Andrews, is of course - the home of golf. The Royal and Ancient Golf club was formed here in 1754 and is the world oldest golf club. It is the also the ruling body for the game of golf - they set the rules and regulations for the game and for competitions around the world, - and we still can't win! Ah well - there are still plenty of other things to do in the area.
The University is even older and was founded around 1410 and is the third oldest university in the English speaking world. It highly ranked as a seat of learning for the arts and humanities; around 8,500 students are enrolled from around the world with diverse backgrounds that include the odd Prince, Sheik and Duchess!
The coastline along the Fife coast is spectacular with many good beaches and views to Arbroath in the north.
