Guided Golf History Walking Tours around the historic quarters of St Andrews,

Set amid the backdrop of historic St Andrews you will visit sites frequented by golfing legends, Kings, Queens and Nobles.

Tours include historic quirks, anecdotes and easily missed sites of golfing interest and historical importance along the way.

As an ideal showcase of St Andrews, the tours take in the major historic quarters including the Old Course, home and birth place of Tom Morris, the first University in Scotland where many top golfers have been conferred honorary degrees, the Cathedral (burial place of 124 golfers!) and the Archbishops Palace.

The tours are suitable for any looking to explore and find out more about this unique part of the world.
