StAndrews, best known perhaps to golfers the world over, is a beautiful, peaceful place for a holiday. I was lucky enough to go there for two weeks every Summer all through my childhood, since my grandparents lived there; their house was large and accommodated our family easily, giving a great base for trips out to the beach, shopping, explorations, and many other activities.

Situated in a bay on the East coast of Scotland, StAndrews has some of the loveliest stretches of beach in the country. The West Sands were the scene of the opening shots of the film 'Chariots of Fire', with coastline stretching for miles, the water clear and inviting, the sand perfect for children to make sandcastles and channels to the sea. Being on the coast, the weather is temperate - it rarely freezes in winter, but equally ...

The Doll' House Restaurant in StAndrews is a very popular restaurant among tourists, locals, students, and StAndrews very cosmopolitan transient community.

Standing on the first tee at StAndrews you look forward onto a vast wide open space. An impossible to miss fairway which seems to stretch beyond anyone?s driving range. Behind you is the Royal and Ancient clubhouse where the rules of this great game are still administered and verified to this day. To your left is the shop of Tom Morris Open champion in the 19th century and a landmark which continues to draw visitors from all over the world. Beyond that the town of StAndrews with the oldest university in Scotland and to your right the waves of the North Sea sweep onto the shore of the beach.
For beauty, history and the challenge of the golf course you are as near to heaven as a golfer can get whilst still breathing.
The course was used for this years Open Championship and though the winner could easily have been predicted ...
