Sunny summers in St. Andrews

A lovely seaside town on the east coast of Scotland, St. Andrews enjoys some of the finest weather conditions in the country. The town basks in the glory of having more sunshine than London and less rain than Paris, making it a beautiful destination much of the year. However, the weather is fickle, so visitors are encouraged to wear layers that can be removed or replaced throughout the day.
