Pilgrims in the Rough: An Unreliable History of St Andrews

A quirky and amusing history of the ancient town of St Andrews situated on the east coast of Scotland, the home of golf and as close to paradise as you're likely to find this side of the pearly gates... a plum pudding sort of a history, full of choice fruit and a dusting of sugar. Use Pilgrims in the Rough to play around the auld toun and know more than the natives about the university, the ruined cathedral, the harbour, the courses, the castle, the battles fought and lost, and all the other goings on since St Andrews' time began. Serious, but fun. Much loved by locals and visitors alike. Michael Tobert fell in love with St Andrews many years ago and lives there still. After Pilgrims in the Rough, he wrote a novel, The Mating Call of the Racket-Tailed Drongo. He now feels he’s done his bit for local tourism.
