Courtesy Visit Scotland
The game of golf dates back to the 15th century in St Andrews and the town is still clearly golf-mad. With a population of only 17,000, there are still eight golf courses, including the Old Course, touted as the world’s most famous. Despite the town’s rich sporting history, non-golfing visitors can find a plethora of activities. There are two sandy beaches, and St Andrews provides the perfect base for exploring the surrounding towns.
