These retailers at the intersection of South and Church Streets across from Town Hall are an example of the endearing charm of St Andrews. The town of about 17,000 people is located at the tip of a peninsula along the east-central coast of Scotland facing the North Sea. Despite its small size, it has played a major role in religious history, especially during the Scottish Reformation. It is also the home of a prestigious university, a 12th century castle and church plus the heralded birthplace of golf.
