The beach run, which opens and closes Chariots of Fire , has become one of the most iconic scenes in British cinema, often imitated and, as a multi-Oscar winning film, widely recognised at home and overseas. For St Andrews, this short sequence, depicting a group of runners along the West Sands beach, may be the defining visual depiction of the town. However, it was only by chance that Chariots of Fire came to be filmed in St Andrews. Quoted from the Cinema St Andrews website.

The Old Course at St Andrews is considered the oldest golf course in the world and commonly known as 'The Home of Golf'.

The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews club house sits adjacent to the first tee, although it is but one of many clubs (St Andrews Golf Club, New Golf Club, St Regulus Golf Club and St Rules Golf Club are the others) that have playing privileges on the course, along with the general public.

St Andrews, West Port
|
|
|
|
The West Port of St Andrews was built in 1587 as a monumental entrance to the city’s South Street. It was less a defensive structure than it was a symbol of civic pride. Its design is based on that of the Netherbow in Edinburgh – which, in turn, was modelled on Paris’s Porte Saint-Honore. The gate was extensively refurbished in 1843.
