Exploring the town of St. Andrews...

St. Andrews is a fun town to be in. Not too big, not too small. Nice people all around. Here are some pics we took.
The arch bridge down near St. Andrews cathedral.


The ruins of St. Andrews cathedral built in 1158.

The cemetery on the cathedral grounds.

I recognized the name on this...William Wallace.

St. Andrews castle ruins, right on the ocean front.

A little closer....and down the street, literally half a block and beyond we're more University of St. Andrew colleges along a street called The Scores. Really neat stuff, but I didn't take pictures of those.

We ate dinner here at Ogston's two nights in a row. They were open pretty late and our schedule was all off. They had nachos and potato skins...just like home!

This is one of the few shots I have of one of St. Andrews' two beaches. Kinda hard to see because I w standing on the other side of the golf course. There were tons of people on it this day since it was warm. We got really lucky with the weather, it was warm the entire two weeks everywhere we went!

Mike found this faded sign above a store on Market Street. It says "HENDERSON THE BAKER OF GOOD ROLLS". My maiden name is Henderson. :-) The current store is different, but it must have been a bakery in the past. 

Our last night in St. Andrews I tried a Scottish soft drink called Irn Bru. It tastes like bubble gum! I loved it!

We also visited the British Golf Museum...

One of many displays...

I think these were all the programs from each British Open...

LOL This is a countdown clock they have in the museum that counts down to the next British Open.
