"St. Andrews is one of the best-known small cities in the world, and the reason for its faire rests largely on its claim to be the home of golf. The famous Royal and Ancient Golf Club, founded in 1754, is the world's leading golf club. Yet the town is much more than the shrine of golf; it was once the metropolitan see of Scotland, a centre of pilgrimage, learning and trade, famous throughout western Europe." "Jo Grimond describes in vigorous style the town in which he was born and grew up. He recalls the buildings, traditions and some of the people that formed his world as a child, as he takes the reader on a tour of the town, the streets and the harbour. Each building or view on the 'walk' triggers a memory about a St. Andrews' personality, reminds him of a good golfing story or provokes an acid comment about the architect of a particularly disliked building. The reader, whether he be in an armchair or following the route, receives an educational tour with a difference, one not only packed with historical fact but also one with amusing stories and reflections on the modern world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
