St Andrews, 50 miles north of Edinburgh, is a university town with a lot to offer in a relatively small setting. The heart of the city extends only for a few blocks along North Street, Market Street, and South Street, so it easy to walk around the city, see the St Andrews University buildings and other sights, and decide which restaurant or pub to try. Golfers make pilgrimages to the Old Course and to the nearby golf museum, while movie buffs might want to stroll along the West Sands, where the opening scene of Chariots of Fire was filmed. St Andrews was the center of Scotland's religious life for centuries; St Andrews Castle was once the archbishop's palace and was the site of notable murders and martyrdoms during the Reformation. You can explore the ruins of the Castle and, if you're not claustrophobic, you can creep through its ancient tunnels. St Andrews Cathedral is also in ruins, but the remaining walls and towers are dramatic frames for photographers and interesting fodder for historians. St Rule's Tower, built around 1130, is still standing; you can climb to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the city, the golf courses, and the surrounding country.
