St Andrews

Over the New Year holiday we took a train up to St Andrews, a charming town about an hour north of us. Many know it as the birthplace of golf, which also means it is home to the world's first golf course. While we knew that Edinburgh was a large city (500,000 people call it home), we realized that we were somehow expecting it to feel more like a small town, much like St Andrews. It was great to get out of the big city and into the open expanses of the Scottish countryside, and then spend the day exploring the castle, cathedral and little shops of St Andrews. Here is a brief slide show of our adventure:
