My top 5:

| Cupcakes in the window of Bibi's, South Street, St Andrews |
1. WALKING from beach to beach - a winning combination of nature and history - East Sands to West Sands via the Cathedral, castle and University Buildings on The Scores.
2. Making like a student and hanging out in a BEER GARDEN - piri piri fries plus Magners Cider in the beer garden at West Port on South Street is a Summer treat! (NB. You can park yourself under the umbrella if there's a rain shower!).
3. SHOPPING, especially in La Boutique on Bell Street - chic and unique women's clothes and accessories from a company with boutiques in Glasgow's trendy West End; Farmore Interiors and Bibi's Bakery the cupcake shop - see the picture below (both on South Street).
4. 5 STAR RELAXING at The Old Course hotel - firstly in the Kohler spa with its lovely indoor pools, rooftop jacuzzi and wonderful treatments; secondly in the Road Hole bar, looking out over the Old Course. Whether you are a golf fan or not it's synonymous with St Andrews.
5. DINING OUT, especially in The Doll's House restaurant on Church Square (off Church Street) - tasty, good value French-Scottish food in a smart place that's been doing St Andrews proud for years (and its sister restaurant The Grill House on St Mary's Place is good too - even better value!) or pushing the boat out at the more expensive but superb The Seafood Restaurant near the Aquarium (booking required - don't be put off if they are a little snooty - it's worth it). If you're in a hurry though it's got to be Dr Noodles on Market Street.
