St. Andrews

The drive out to St. Andrews from Haddington began as a snowy one, but by the time we arrived two hours later the sky was a brilliant blue and the sun was shining!

St. Andrews is a university town in the county of Fife on the east coast of Scotland. It is home of one of the oldest and prestigious universities, and today St. Andrews is also known worldwide as the “home of golf” as it is the most frequent venue for The Open Championship. Not only did my friend Anya attend university here, but so did Prince William and soon to be Princess Kate! One of my favourite sites in St. Andrews was the ruins of the famous and once largest cathedral in Scotland. I must have an eye for a good shot because in doing a little extra reading about St. Andrews and the cathedral I’ve found my exact photo (in colour) at wikipedia. There is just something about ruins that is both sorrowful and stunning.
