St. Andrews Day Trip


Our last day in Scotland! Since our five day tour with Haggis Adventures ended, Courtney and I signed up for a day trip to St. Andrews. When we first pulled into St. Andrews, I was already in love! This was a cute city of about 16,000. Besides being popular for educating the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (and hosting their fairytale love story), it’s also widely known as the “home of golf”. They have seven golf courses that hold the British Open every five years. The courses were open to the public so after having lunch in the clubhouse, we walked on the Old Course.

They told us you had to book your tee time at least one year in advance!
After viewing the golf courses, I was determined to find where William met Kate, so I walked towards the University. I found the building he studied in as well as a coffee shop where they met for coffee! 

I wasn’t really into seeing more cathedrals or castles at this point, so I went shopping for earrings, while Courtney explored other parts of the city. After a few hours of small town shops we had to meet back in the town center for our bus ride back. A very quick trip to St. Andrews but well worth seeing the history and the fancy shops!
