The St Andrews year.
This is a small town with a very big calendar. Golf majors, graduations, ancient student rites and a storybook Christmas all bring their own crowds — and their own travel headaches. Here's what's on, when, and exactly how to arrive for each.
On the big weeks, accommodation and transport across the whole of Fife sell out — and public transport often can't cope at all. The visitors who enjoy these events most are the ones who booked their travel first.
