    Kinburn Park

    Kinburn Park After meeting at St Andrews Bus Station we will take a stroll along Station Road, and take in a little known part of St Andrews History - the site of the former St Andrews Train Station. The station walls provide a fantastic backdrop for a portrait to open our tour of St Andrews. We then head up the hill and into Kinburn Park, a small leafy enclave within the heart of St Andrews, and home to St Andrews Tennis Club, Kinburn Park Bowling Club and St Andrews Museum.

    Lade Braes Walk

    Lade Braes Walk and Cockshaugh Park The tour then takes us to Lade Braes Walk and Cockshaugh Park, a green oasis which almost no visitors to St Andrews know about, but it will stick in the memory. Tall trees with huge trunks, a stream which can become a roaring river during a storm, a stunning parkland and the rooftops of central St Andrews all act as a breathtaking backdrop.

    North Street

    We then make our way along the length of Lade Braes Walk into the town centre, taking in South Street, Bell Street and St Mary's Place, before a stroll down Hope Street, a street lined with historic, 19th century John Chesser designed terraced housing. This street makes a great opportunity for additional shots on our tour, as shown below.North Street takes us towards the historic Cathedral ruins, but along the way we will pop in to St Salvator's Quad and capture a few shots in one of the Universities most important locations. If the Cathedral is open we will head in and get some great shots framed by the striking ruins.
