The best photos of St Andrews aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Old Course and St Andrews Cathedral will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out The Scores for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
A windswept Scottish university town on the Fife coast, home to golf's Old Course and a ruined medieval cathedral.

St Andrews attracts visitors for history and coastal walks, and Old Course and St Andrews Cathedral and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like The Scores reward those who wander off the main path.
Walk from the castle along the clifftop Scores to the cathedral ruins, then down to the harbor — about 30 minutes for the full route.
May through September. The Fife coast is breezy year-round — bring layers. Summer daylight extends past 10pm.
