Location
One Thistle Lane sits in a rare location off a quiet lane in the centre of St Andrews off South Street.
South Street has been a central part of St Andrews since the very early days, when the original 8th century settlement of Kilrymont developed in the area around the Cathedral. The ruins of the famous Cathedral, which was the largest in Scotland, are at the far end of South Street. Thistle Lane enjoys all the benefits of a city centre location, with all the city has to offer within walking distance, and yet has a peaceful setting within its own little lane.
St Andrews is renowned worldwide as the ‘Home of Golf’. The Old Course is a regular host to the Open Championship (including in July 2022) and there are now seven golf courses run by the St Andrews Links Trust, including the Castle Course which opened in 2009. There are many other golf courses in the area including the Duke’s Course, two courses at Fairmount, St Andrews Bay and Kingsbarns. St Andrews is also well known for its university which is one of the oldest in Britain, founded in 1410. The town provides good state schooling at Madras College and private schooling at St Leonards. Dundee High School is within easy reach.
The town has a good range of shops, hotels, restaurants and recreational and cultural facilities. Beyond St Andrews is the East Neuk of Fife, with a spectacular coastline which boasts fishing villages built around picturesque harbours and sandy unspoilt beaches. Leuchars railway station (4 miles) is on the main Aberdeen to London line and provides a fast link to Dundee and Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport, with its increasingly
wide range of domestic and international flights, is only 50 miles away.
All mileages are approximate.
