St Andrews - the home of golf!

I thought that was all St Andrews was... but it's actually a really old joint and really nice! It isn't very big - everything is within a kilometre or so from each other - even the famous golf courses!

At one end of town is what's left of a 12th or 13th century cathedral and associated stuff, with a tower you can climb to get great views of the place.



In the centre of town is St Andrews University, where Prince Willy went (or still attends? no idea) and a few other college buildings.

Also along the coast here is the ruined castle of the town. Quite a lot went on here, the French and English invading, taking over the castle, losing it again and taking it again. At one point they started tunnelling through to it (starting from the kitchen of a house over the road!) - at which point the guys in the castle started tunnelling from their side, eventually meeting up with the bad guys and showing them who was boss! not for long though - they did end up losing it, and hanging for it...
Pretty cool though, you can walk through the tunnels, amazing.



The Tunnel.



At the other end of town is the 5 or 6 or 7 courses belonging to the St Andrews Royal and Ancient golf club - otherwise known as the home of golf. Here's a pic of the 18th green.


And the clubhouse...
