Welcome to St Andrews
St Andrews is home to Scotland's first University,
world renowned for it's golf; and also an idyllic place to visit with
the mediaeval town setting and beautiful, award winning beaches.
Below are a few websites that can offer more detailed information on how
to get to St Andrews, places to stay in town, and what St Andrews has

train, and car connections to St Andrews.
Transport from Edinburgh Airport to St Andrews: Local taxi
companies offer standard rates if you pre-book one of the St Andrews taxis
(taxis from the airport will cost more). Prices for three of these are
listed below:
St
Andrews Taxis: £65. Phone (from outside UK): + 44-1334-477272
ClubCars:
£60. Phone (from outside UK): +44-1334-479900
Golf City Taxis:
£65. Phone (from outside UK): +44-1334-477788
Strachan Tours: £60.
Phone (from outside UK): +44-1382-553963
For an approximate idea of how this compares to other travel arrangements,
to come by train you need to get a bus from the airport into Edinburgh
(approx £4), train to Leuchars (£10-12), and taxi from Leuchars
into St Andrews (£8). So for 3 or more people arriving at approximately
the same time, it would be simpler and cheaper to get a taxi direct.
