Favorite thing: We were lucky to arrive in St. Andrews on a beautiful sunshiney day. The wind was brisk, but it was in October. We were pleasantly surprised to find the Dunhill Cup was being played by famous golfers around the world. We couldn't get close enough to recognize them, so we walked around the festive grounds and wandered into the tents like we belonged there.

Fondest memory: Not expecting more than seeing the "Old Course", we found a beautiful medieval town with some amazing historic monuments. The crumbling catheral has a long history and the headstones were interesting reading. St . Andrews castle sits imposingly on the sea and echoes of the battles it must have witnessed through the fiery history of Scotland. All of these sites within views of the Firth of Forth.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
