- Join me for a walk around the centre of St Andrews, one of the most historic towns in Scotland! Formerly the country's most important religious site, at one point home to the largest cathedral in Europe, St Andrews is today well-known for its medieval heritage, as well as its legendary university (the oldest in Scotland), and its spectacular golf course (the oldest in the world!).
On our walk around St Andrews, we pass a number of fascinating landmarks, including St Andrews Cathedral, St Andrews Bay, Castle Sands Beach, Castle Pool (May Dip Pool), St Andrews Castle, All Saints' Church, St Andrews Heritage Musuem & Garden, St. Rule's Tower, The Pends, St Andrews War Memorial, North Street, St. Salvator's Chapel, Salvator's Quad, St Andrews Union Coffee Bar, Market Street, the Whyte-Melville Memorial Fountain, South Street, Blackfriars and West Port Gate.

Good evening! Thank you so much for helping us to over 7,900 subscribers, I’m really glad you’re enjoying all the videos! This evening, we’ll be going for a walk around one of the most historic towns in Scotland: St Andrews!
There’s so much to St Andrews that we certainly can’t cover it in just one video, but we made brief mention of the ‘May Dip’ tradition of the university’s students. That’s not the only university tradition, however. Down in front of St. Salvator’s Chapel where Patrick Hamilton was burned at the stake, you’ll find the initials ‘PH’. Legend dictates that if a student steps on the ‘PH’, they will have bad luck in their exams…
WOW ❤ the video was Super, and the history was Incredible, Thank you!
I was a student at St Andrews (2000-2004) it’s such a beautiful town. I used to live in a flat above the Westport bar in my final year. You can see the steps next to the Westport gate.
Wow! That sounds absolutely wonderful - particularly living so close to a beautiful part of local history like the Westport Bar.
Studying in St Andrews for so long must have been wonderful - and I do hope this video brought back some memories of that time for you :) Thank you so much for watching!
@@LetsWalkUK I’m so glad I was randomly recommended your channel it’s fantastic 😀. I didn’t appreciate how beautiful St Andrews was when I was 18 but do now that I’m older.
St. Andrew's town in Scotland. Is very beautiful and historical. The history lessons are great. And your walks are always wonderful and enjoyable, I like the medieval buildings, and churches also. Can't wait to see more soon. Greetings from Canada. How's your week going? Mine is going well. 😀😀
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - St Andrews is an absolutely gorgeous town and so full of riveting history and beautiful medieval buildings as you say :)
Oh how I miss St Andrews! I used to attend seminars there at the Arché, first door to your left at 18:46.
So much history is packed into the streets of this small town, and it's also quite a vibrant place too because of the university. One of my favourites, and some lovely coastline to explore nearby in east Fife too. Can't wait to visit again - you've brought back many nice memories.
It really is! It's remarkable just how much heritage you can find in St Andrews, and we didn't even get the chance to mention the stories of each and every building along its three main roads, which could keep us walking around the town forever :)
The whole Fife coast really is very pretty, and stay tuned for a walk around the centre of Crail coming in the near future - I love that town!
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories of St Andrews for you!
This is a phenomenal video! As someone who has been privileged to visit St. Andrews several times, this video truly provides the viewer with a sense and feel of the town. Magical! Thank you!
Thank you for an incredible tour, and St Andrews certainly is riveting!
I would happily spend many hours exploring St Andrews, what a beautiful town. Such a wealth of history, really interesting.
I look forward to your next video. Happy travels 🙂
It really is one of the most delightful towns - and so full of history that's played a big part in Scottish history! As you mention, there's so much to explore it could be hours (or even days) before you'd cover everything to see in St Andrews :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, stay tuned for more!
Lovely place to visit, our last visit to Scotland was a stay in Pitlochry in March 2019, we drove to St. Andrews and had a walk round to the Castle and the Abbey, as English Heritage members we got into the Historic Scotland properties for free, always a plus for a Yorkshireman.
We should have gone to Portpatrick on the 30th. Of March 2020 but we all know why that didn’t happen, if Wee Krankie permits we will try again next March.
That sounds like a delightful trip - sounds amazing that you can get into all those amazing places for free, I might have a look at that programme too :)
It's a gorgeous town as you mention, and Pitlochry is too - I've got a walk from there coming in the future, so do stay tuned for that... And I hope you get the chance to visit Portpatrick in the future!
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
I went out with a girl for 3 years who lived in St Andrews, I've got alot of good memories of the place with her.
Without doubt one of the finest filmed and presented walk ch....only equalled too' joolz guides'...'adventure me' all have there fun and intresting style well done
I'm very flattered by the comparisons! I certainly enjoy both of the channels you mention - and I'm really glad you enjoy the style of these walking videos, hopefully it was a great way to experience the streets and the riveting history of St Andrews :)
Thank you so much for watching and for the very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

I can certainly imagine St Andrews is an expensive place to live! That being said it must be one of the loveliest towns in Scotland to live, and I can certainly say it's one of the nicest towns to visit too :)

AÏE AÏE AÏE MAIS QUELLE PROMENADE FANTASTIQUE DANS UN TEL DÉCOR INIMAGINABLE !.. TRÈS IMPRESSIONNANTE ET CAPTIVANTE L'HISTOIRE DE TOUS CES SUBLIMES ÉDIFICES RELIGIEUX !.. MINE DE RIEN ÉTUDIER À ST ANDREWS ÇA DOIT ÊTRE QUELLE CHOSE DE GRANDIOSE LE SAVOIR DOIT TRANSPERCER LES MURS !.. OH J'ADORE LE P'TIT CANON DEVANT LA PORTE BLEUE TRÈS DISSUASIF ET AMUSANT !.. SUPER MERCI ET BON JEUDI LET'S WALK !.. P.S : AH AUSSI TOUJOURS COCORICO ET BRAVO !.. BIENTÔT LA COURONNE DE LAURIER ISN' IT !..
Oh oui l'histoire de St Andrews est sans doûte fascinante, mais comme vous disez l'éxperience d'y étudier entre toutes les édifices magnifiques doit être incroyable - peut-être plus que Oxford, Cambridge et Durham!
Merci pour regarder et pour faire les commentaires comme toujours - je suis très heureux que vous avez aimé le vidéo :)
@@LetsWalkUK DE RIEN BIEN À VOUS
Another nice walk my friend. So this town has almost 900years old history and golf was originated from this town👍
The history of St Andrews is absolutely spectacular! From its centuries of religious significance to its university, it's a fascinating place to visit :) Golf didn't actually originate in St Andrews, but it is home to the world's oldest golf course!
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for the reply🤝
I loved this video! I don’t suppose you have the route map of it so you? I’d love to retrace your steps!
I know a man who lived in St Andrews for years and worked for Scottish Gas. He said that underneath the old town there are numreous tunnels all over the place, linking various buildings.
I can imagine! Like many historic towns St Andrews certainly has a whole lot of secrets to its own, but that just makes it all the more fascinating :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
@@LetsWalkUK Thank you for providing such informative entertainment.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊☺
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@LetsWalkUK 😊😊😊
great you did a video of my favourite town, shame about the text on the bottom of the screen, its distracting. would be great if you did a video without the text as well as an option. thanks
Thank you very much - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, though I'm sorry you found the text distracting, I'll look to uploading a version without narration in future :)
@@LetsWalkUK I think the text is what I loved the most about this video! It gave me so much insight into St. Andrews, a lot of convo starters

My husbands in this video 😀
Ha ha you must have a very good eye! Hopefully he doesn't mind being in the video - walking around St Andrews is quite the pleasure as I'm sure you and he both know :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
He works in St. Andrews and was spotted coming out of Tesco, it was one of his colleagues who spotted him so it was him with the good eye, I enjoy watching your videos
Nice place to live?
