St. Andrews, Scotland

We just got back from an amazing trip to Scotland! First stop Saint Andrews to see family. The main reason we came?  To meet Grace, of course!  More on them soon, I promise! One of the first treats we had was meeting Hamish McHamish, St. Andrew's town cat.  He even has a book written about him! A must is visiting the West Sands.  A beautiful sandy beach where the opening scene of Chariots of Fire was filmed. Haggis served with neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes).  Smothered in the yummy gravy, it was pretty good!!  A strong, gamey flavor but worth trying.   Kate & Wills gave this coffee shop it's claim to fame!  I was in love with all the colorful doors around town! The East Sands.  My kids LOVE the beach!  They are quite the beachcombers along with my husband.  We have shells, rocks and sea glass from all our beach adventures. We took a trip down the road to the cutest fishing village, Crail. Fishing cottage in Crail. The Museum  of St. Andrews is very kid friendly with several interactive things to do.  Try on a red undergraduate robe.  A future St. Andrews undergrad, maybe?? The ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral.  City walls that dates back to medieval times. I loved these old crude steps near the Old Course. One last view of St. Andrews. We so enjoyed our time in this ancient Scottish town.  So rich in history and charm!  I'm sure we'll be back! Today, I'm linking up to Instagram Travel Thursday.
