A late 19th century view of the beach at St Andrews, a town on the east coast of Fife in Scotland. Named after Saint Andrew the Apostle, the settlement grew to become the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland until the Scottish Reformation. Home to the University of St Andrews, the third oldest university in the English-speaking world and the oldest in Scotland and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, founded in 1754, which until 2004 exercised legislative authority over the game worldwide (except in the United States and Mexico), hence the town being known as the "home of golf".
