Every morning for about an hour, I would go for a walk and try to take in a different site, a different location

Ruined Cathedral. St Andrews was the Ecclesiastical Capital of Scotland before the reformation, and St Andrews Cathedral was the most important cathedral in Scotland. Constructed between 1160 and 1318, it was consecrated in the presence of the legendary Robert the Bruce. However, the cathedral fell into disuse in the 1550's, following the Reformation, and many of its stones were removed in the 17th century to construct other buildings in the town. Its picturesque outline remains, however, including stunning towers. Museum tells of the history of the cathedral, and has medieval sculpture and artifacts from the site. Cathedral ruins can be explored, and panels explain history. St Rule's Tower, a remnant of the church that predated the cathedral, can be climbed and provides stunning views over St Andrews and the surrounding area.

British Golf Museum. Never got the chance to visit

This is the walk to the Old Course..down Golf Place road.

Down on the right (far) is the museum and on the left is the R&A. Notice the recycle bins

The walk back to Deveron House. It is past the church (on the left) and just off to the right is Deveron House.

Old Tom Morris' House

This was a walk down by the working harbor

Starbucks is just past that old entry way...not in the same area as the harbor, I am just throwing pictures at you.

On one of my walks I ended up on Lade Braes, from what I understand, this walk use to be over 8 miles

Just lovely

Going to their Botanical Gardens

I forget the name of this young lady, but she was so kind as to let me look around - hopefully her boss won't be reading this ;)

Rabbits all over the place

This is the hotel whose corner the pros hit over when they do their drive on the 17th hole

This is the sign you read

This is the smallest of St Andrews' beaches, located below the castle. This used to be the site of May Dip, before it was restricted by the university to East Sands only.

This is the church I mentioned earlier which is just down to the right from The Deveron House.

This was shot from down at the working harbor.

The St Andrews Pier

St Andrews Castle, built in approximately 1400, is where the Bishops of St Andrews lived before the Reformation. It has also served as a fortress and even a prison, but fell into ruin in the 17th century. It has a beautiful location next to the sea. See and explore the mine and counter-mine built under the Castle during a siege in the 1540s

Pier and harbor, have survived from St Andrews fishing industry history. This is a pretty place to walk to on a summer's day, with views from the end of the pier of the whole of St Andrews Bay and across the mouth of the Tay to the mountains of Angus. On Sundays, staff and students walk to the pier in their traditional academic dress at the end of chapel.
