  • One of my favourite places in the world, the Royal and Ancient Course at St Andrews, Scotland. How brilliant is this course...incredible. And if you don't like golf, fine, St Andrews is a cool little town. I'd also recommend the Anstruther Fish Bar just down the coast a wee bit...and I don't really like fish and chips heaps, but delicious all the same. 2.4.2005
