St Andrews
This city is situated on the East coast of the North Sea.
The place is centred on the tourism, and exploits its beaches, its cliffs, but also all its historic monuments.
It is at fifteen minutes of Dundee by bus. This city is famous thanks to these golfs because they are old and very beautiful.
The university of St. Andrews is renowned and it is the oldest university in Scotland.
The most beautiful place is St. Andrews Castle and the Cathedral (£8 to see both monuments).
St Andrews Castle
St Andrews Castle
The remains of St Andrews Cathedral, which was Scotland’s largest cathedral and most magnificent church, show how impressive it used to be. The ruins indicate that the building was approximately 119m long, and is the largest church to have been built in Scotland.

joined into 2001 and where they were studying the art history.
Broughty Ferry
Broughty Ferry is a pleasant suburb four miles east of Dundee with a good selection of pubs and restaurants. Its harbour is pretty and calm. This city is relaxing.
The Broughty Castle and Museum, right by the seashore are beautiful. Built in the 15th century to protect the city, its four floors show the history of Broughty Ferry (it’s mainly to show that Brought Ferry was a fishing village)
In 1495 Broughty Castle was built and remained in use as a major defensive structure until 1932. The castle stands alongside two beaches, one of sand, the other of pebbles.
Glamis Castle
Glamis Castle
The entrance with a tour guide is £10 (for the Castle and gardens).
Once inside, every room has its own story and your own enthusiastic tour guides bring the evolution of the castle and its legendary tales and secrets to life.
Italian Garden
There are four wonderful gardens :
-The Italian Garden Walk
-The Nature Trail Walk
-The Pinetum Walk
-The River Dean Walk
Glamis today looks more like a French Castle than a medieval fortress, because it was extensively restored in the 17th and 18th centuries.
♠ Ghosts in the Castle : The family chapel is haunted by a Grey Lady,
who is said to be the spirit of Lady Janet Douglas, burned at the
stake as a witch on Castle Hill, Edinburgh in 1537, on charges of
plotting to poison the King.
