How to entertain yourself in December in St.Andrews...

 

The answer is you don't - we had time to kill during family visits on our trip up to the northeast of Scotland and checked out 'things to do in and around St. Andrews' on the Visit Scotland website. Of the interesting things on offer all were closed for the season, which is understandable as around one third of the population are attending or teaching at the towns university which has finished its current semester and most have departed. It did however mean we could wander through its hallowed grounds.

This being the case we decided to head over to nearby Dundee and visit the V&A design museum, somewhere we had not checked out on our last visit there.

We will save a review of our visit for another time. While we were there we did the riverside walk which gives great views over the river Tay and the 'RRS Discovery'.

We also took a stroll onto the high street to see how the locals might have dressed one of their hero's 'Desperate Dan' for the festive period. As it happens he is untouched...so far. 

Though they have fitted out 'Beryl the Peril' for winter and given a bit of colour to her sling-shot.
