St. Andrew's, on the coast of Fife just north of Edinburgh, is most famous for being the Home Of Golf. Since the early 15th century, the game has been played here by such notables as Mary Queen of Scots and her son, James VI. The Society of St. Andrews Golfers was founded in 1754. This society was later granted the title, "Royal and Ancient", and this society is now the ruling body over the game.
For those of you reading this and looking at the picture to the left, the only connection between it and golf is they are both in St. Andrews. The Royal and Ancient Golf Course is just up the coast from St. Andrew's Cathedral. Built in the 12th century, the cathedral has since been neglected and is now just a ruins of the stately building which used to be there.
