St. Andrews!

Dear Commons Community,

Today we spent most of the day in the beautiful town of St. Andrews.  We visited the University of St. Andrews founded in 1413, which has been the alma mater of many British royals including Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton.  It is a beautiful campus with lots of old stone buildings and lawns.

St. Andrews also is the home of two ruins – St. Andrew’s Cathedral and St. Andrew’s Castle.  Both are in major disrepair but still impressive structures and in the case of the Cathedral, surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds.

No visit to St. Andrews would be complete without a visit to the Old Course (golf). It is a magnificant facility and many would say is one of the top golf courses in the world.
