Built in 1158, St Andrews Cathedral was at one time the largest church in Scotland. The site (now a ruin) is a popular pilgrimage for golf visitors, as this is where you will find the resting place of Old Tom Morris and his son Young Tom. With 4 Open Championships victories apiece, this father and son really are golfing royalty.
Situated right beside The Royal and Ancient Clubhouse and 1st tee of St Andrews Old Course, this golf museum is a must for any avid golfer. With collections of balls and golf clubs that were used back hundreds of years ago, to trophies and imagery through to more recent times in the game.
Scotland might be famous for its whisky, but recently it has been making waves in the gin world. No distillery more so than Eden Mill in St Andrews. This tour gets endless plaudits and has been known to turn non-gin lovers to a new tipple from their vast range of flavours and mixes.
Pre-booking is necessary to avoid disappointment.
