About St Andrews - show infohide info
St Andrews is a town in Fife, Scotland, named after Saint Andrew. The town has a population of approximately 18,000 inhabitants. St Andrews is home to the game of golf, and also Scotland's oldest university. The site of St Andrews was long ago a Pictish stronghold. Tradition declares that St Kenneth founded a Cildee monastery here in the 6th century. The area was named St Andrews when, according to legend, Saint Regulus was guided to the spot, bearing relics of Saint Andrew. In the 16th century St Andrews functioned as one of the most important ports north of the Forth and allegedly had 14,000 inhabitants, but it fell into decay after the Civil War. The town is known as the Mecca of Golf, as it is home to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, founded in 1754, which exercised authority over the sport of golf until 2004, when a newly formed group of companies, the R&A took over. The towns golf course, the St Andrew's Links, is regarded as one of the finest in the world, with visitors from across the world visiting to play a round. The University in St Andrews is the oldest in Scotland, and owes its existance to a society founded in 1410. It attracted a number of Scotland's most learned men in 1411 as professors, and was awarded a charter confirming it's university status in 1413. The university has almost constantly expanded and modernised since then, though a number of improvements took place during the principalship of Dr James Donaldson. St Andrews is served by Leuchars station, which sees services between Edinburgh and Dyce (for Aberdeen), and Carnoustie. some longer range services to Aberdeen also pass through.
