Glenderran
Guesthouse is located close to the heart of St Andrews, just
250 yards from the first tee of the Old Course and the
West Sands beach, and a similar distance from the main shopping area's of Market Street, in the
centre of town, and South Street, which offer a wide variety of shopping and
amenities. This makes our guesthouse an ideal location
for all activities, whether it be golfing, shopping or
general sight-seeing. All can be reached without the need
for transport.

The Royal Burgh and City of St Andrews is relatively small, with
a population of 16,000. Miles of safe beaches surround St
Andrews and are easily accessed from Glenderran for
exhilarating walks along the North Sea Coast. Horseback
riding, bird watching, castle tours, clay pigeon
shooting, tennis, go karts, fishing, golf lessons,
archery and many other activities are all available from
the town. Shops, cafes, restaurants and traditional pubs
are just a short walk from our doorstep.

 For those with a keen interest in history, St Andrews still retains a mediaeval town layout, with all roads leading to the East and the Cathedral of St Andrews, 12th Century, now in ruins but still magnificant.
The view from St Rule's tower, pictured on the left, in the grounds of the Cathedral, is quite amazing and well worth the effort of the climb up its stairs.
St Andrews Castle, 13th Century, also now in ruins, was once the residence of the Archbishop of St Andrews.
Both historical monuments are just a few minutes walk from Glenderran.

 The University Of St Andrews
Founded in 1411, St
Andrews is the oldest university in Scotland and
continues to maintain an enviable reputation for success
in teaching, research and employment. The heart of the
University is just a stroll around the
corner from Glenderran but occupies many buildings
throughout the town.
The University population (staff and
students) numbers around 6,000 and on average, one in
three people you see in the street have something to do
with the University. Very quickly you start to feel that
you belong.
