Review:
St Andrews lies on the East Coast of Scotland just thirty miles north of Edinburgh is St. Andrew’s. The town was established in 1140 on the ruined site of St. Andrew’s Castle by Bishop Robert. The historic town is home to several historical attractions including University of St. Andrew’s—the third oldest university in the Western World, St. Andrew’s Castle and Cathedral, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrew’s, the Botanic Garden, St. Andrew’s Museum, and Aquarium. The St. Andrew’s Cathedral was once an important center for Christian pilgrimages in medieval times who wanted to be blessed at St. Andrew’s shrine. The town can be explored on foot via the Lade Braes Walk that starts near Madras College and continues west 1.5 miles to Law Mill. St Andrews
