St Andrews still attracts visitors from far and wide but they no longer come for religious relics. Now they come to worship at the home of golf. In the cathedral we can see these two aspects brought together.

St Andrew's Castle looks over a little shoreline called Castle Sands and borders the North Sea. The Castle housed well off clerics while St Andrews served as the religious focal point of Scotland amid the years prior to the Protestant Reformation. The best enduring carved pieces from the castle are shown in the visitor centre, which also has a shop.

Hamish the cat was a popular figure around town – so much so that a statue was erected in 2014, after they had raised £5,000. Sadly, that same year Hamish passed away.
