St Andrews is home to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and the famous Old Course. Its amenities include Scotland’s oldest university, founded in 1413, beautiful award winning beaches, historic buildings, including the ruins of the cathedral, castle and St Rule’s Tower and a wide variety of specialist shops and restaurants.
Renowned worldwide as “the home of golf” St Andrews has seven world-class links courses and others in the area include The Dukes, Kingsbarns and the Fairmont St Andrews complex. Within 15 minutes drive you have an absolute wealth of beauty with the East Neuk of Fife and its picturesque towns and villages, including Crail, Elie, Kingsbarns and many more.
Perhaps unlike other destinations in Scotland and the UK, St Andrews has weathered two recessions, an oil and gas downturn, Brexit and the Covid 19 pandemic. St Andrews’s two main drivers when it comes to purchasing property, possibly not surprisingly are golf and education. As this is unlikely to change any time soon, the property market in St Andrews will remain a solid investment. The large student population of over 10,000 from over 130 countries demonstrates the underlying attractiveness of St Andrews as an investment market.
