St Andrews, Ancient university town in Fife, Scotland
The coastal settlement stands between two beaches, with medieval ruins and stone buildings along narrow streets leading to the harbor.
The University of St Andrews, established in 1413, maintains its position as the oldest academic institution in Scotland and third oldest in the English-speaking world.
Students from the university participate in the traditional May Dip, swimming in the North Sea at sunrise on the first day of May.
The nearest train connection is at Leuchars station, with regular bus services running between the station and St Andrews town center.
The bottle dungeon beneath St Andrews Castle descends 24 feet into solid rock, forming one of the most severe medieval prison cells in Britain.
