St. Andrews, Scotland

I met my mom & friends in Edinburgh last Saturday but pretty much was only there 12 hours and had to sleep before getting back on the train to go up to St. Andrews. 



St. Andrews is a cute little town famous for a few things- the first ever golf course (hole 18 above), the filming of Chariots of Fire, but perhaps most importantly it is where Prince William went to college. ;) 

The highlight of our time was hiking along the Fife Coastal Path. It was so gorgeous!





We also checked out the ruins of the castle and cathedral which were destroyed by the protestants back in the day (1500s?). Those pesky protestants. There is a lot of ugly history on both sides. 



The view of the cathedral, cemetery & town from the cathedral tower.
