Pilgrims in the Rough: An Unreliable History of St Andrews

For centuries, people have been travelling to St. Andrews. Whether
they were on a holy pilgrimage to see the magnificent Cathedral
and the preserved bones of St. Andrew, or devout golfers putting
their skills to the test on the Old Course - that holy grail of golf
courses - or just students and scholars jostling for a place at one of
Scotland’s most esteemed centres of learning, St. Andrews has
always attracted pilgrims.

Michael Tobert leads his readers through St. Andrews’ historic highs
and lows with a potent combination of the anecdotal and the
informative. His writing is both astute and downright funny, and he
proves that sometimes, truth really is stranger than fiction.
