Advantages: Lots to do and see, and an amazing hotel if you can afford it.

Disadvantages: The weather.

St Andrews is a very, very beautiful part of Scotland that is mainly known for its amazing golf course and the old course hotel that sits on it. The old course hotel has seen some of the biggest named stars stay in its beautiful rooms, such as Jack Nicholson, Guy Ritchie and Robbie Williams amongst others.

Away from the golf course and the beautiful hotel though there is a lot more on offer in St Andrews, there are nice beaches should you get the good weather that is very rare in the area, a nice aquarium to visit with the kids, a very good golfing museum, some great shops and pubs and a very quaint old cinema.

There are some very, very nice B&B`s throughout St Andrews if you cannot afford the luxury offered by the old course hotel (which most cannot) so no need to worry about accommodation when you visit, although if you are coming for the St Andrews open golf tournament then book well in advance because there is not a spare room to be had when that is on and the stars are in town.

If you can muster up the cash then treat yourself to a night in the old course hotel because you will most probably never have experienced luxury like it. My hubby and I stayed one night in this amazing place at the mighty cost of £539 but it was worth every penny to live like a star for a night and I did not want to leave.

If you are visiting Scotland then add St Andrews to your list of places to see, you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Well worth a visit.

I think it's a great place-my daughter is at uni there and I love going to see her.
