St Andrews is known for...
St Andrews is a royal burgh (1160), a university town, golfing mecca, and former fishing port in Fife council area and historic county, Scotland.
Located on St. Andrews Bay of the North Sea 13 miles (20 km) southeast of Dundee, it occupies a plateau of sandstone rock about 50 feet (15 metres) in elevation, which breaks off to the north in precipitous cliffs. The Eden River enters St. Andrews Bay northwest of the golf links, which rank among the finest in the world.
The only cure for Patrick Hamilton’s curse is to participate in the annual May Dip. At sunrise on May Day students make their way down to East Sands and collectively run into the North Sea.
