St Andrews - Links to other local web sites
St Andrews means much more than golf to many Scots and to many others from all parts of the world. Generations past and present look back on St Andrews as their Alma Mater, as the town where they went to school and one of its best known schools is St Leonards. Many others will remember St Andrews as their Alma Mater and will be graduates of Scotland's oldest university and will think back fondly on their student days there, browsing through the town's shops or evenings spent in the Byre Theatre. If you are visiting and need to know what is on the programme of events take a look at the Community Council for a guide to what is on.But for the residents of St Andrews the task of preserving the heritage is one that is close to the heart of the St Andrews Preservation Trust and among the residents one in particular brings the history of golf to life. And of course the Mecca of golf is the Old Course and the world famous Royal and Ancient Golf Club or R & A as it is known world wide.
Supporting all of these local institutions is St Andrews of Scotland who have the exclusive rights to use the official Armorial Bearings of the Royal and Ancient Burgh of St Andrews in connection with the St Andrews Collection.
