Gems in the Home of Golf: Itinerary Inspiration

  • Day 1 - Journey to St. Andrews: A Blend of History and Golf

    Welcome to Scotland! Arrive into Edinburgh (or Glasgow) airport and meet your dedicated driver-guide for the week. He will take you north to your first hotel in St. Andrews. ​

    Legend claims that the town was so called because it harboured the relics of St. Andrew, which were brought here by a bishop, St. Rule, from Patras in Achaea. Prior to being called St Andrews, the earliest recorded name was the Gaelic, Cennrígmonaid. Nowadays, locals sometimes refer to it as 'auld grey toon'.​

    Check into your elegant room and unwind after your journey. Perhaps wander down the street and pay a visit to the R&A’s World Golf Museum.
