In a nutshell
So picturesque
JessieLang Says: The town had serious troubles during the Reformation. The Protestand reformers brought their ideas to town, and the Catholic hierarchy tried to stamp them out. Cardinal Beaton, the Archbishop of St. Andrews Cathedral, burned some of the reformers at the stake and made a...
JessieLang Says: Not long after George Wisham was burned at the stake, other reformers invaded the St. Andrews Castle, where Cardinal Beaton was living, and killed him. The reformers kept the castle, and it became the first Protestant church in Scotland. John Knox went there in 1547 and...
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club
JessieLang Says: The famous golf course isn’t the oldest one (it was founded in 1754) but it first established the rules of golf that are still used. The course is difficult, and weather is a factor. They say the wind can blow so hard that the ball ends up behind the golfer! It is a public...

The Seafood Restaurant: A classic
iaint Says: I visited this restaurant for the first (and I hope not the last) time in spring 11. The location is spectacular, right on the beach. We watched the tide come in as we ate lunch.The service was spectacular too, as was the food. The bill? Yes, spectacular!We both had a...
iaint Says: I had Sunday lunch there today. As soon as I got inside I realised I'd been before, but a few years back.It's very attractive and modern inside, once past the traditional exterior. It has a large outdoor area at the back - not quite warm enough for that today as far as I was...
R & R decoration: Ziggy's Restaurant
Redang Says: I happen to find this restaurant when I was looking for a place for dinner. I had a look inside, and i liked the decoration because it is about Rock & Roll music. Nice atmosphere here, I had a good dinner, and I don't considered it expensive, at least regarding today's...
Kinness Fry Bar: Fine Pizzas and Fish n Chips
morgenhund Says: As a student I used to regularly go to the KFB - or Kinness Fry Bar to give it its full name. The fish and chips are well worth it - good batter and a good helping of chips. The pizzas are among the best in St Andrews and they have a good range of wines to take out. It is...
mac-me Says: This isn't so much a restaurant as a coffee shop but it does do light meals. There is no shortage of coffee shops in St Andrews but I like MacGregors! If you enjoy home baking then I think you will too! It isn't the cheepest coffee shop around but not the dearest...

Nahm-Jim: Foodlovers, try everything they have! Yeah baby!
naibaho Says: Being stranded in a city called Dundee, with no decent Japanese restaurant - I found this place as heaven. It serves a mix of Thai and Japanese foods and they are both served fresh and tasted exactly like I expect. You might be able to find better restaurants than Nahm-Jim...

iaint Says: I’m not going to try to explain too much about golf in St Andrews. That’s partly from ignorance, and partly because I know it will have been done better already somewhere else.Re-inventing the wheel is not one of my skills. The basics. The Old Course is a public place, taken...
