St Andrews, on the Fife coast, had a population of around 17,000 at the most recent census — a small town that punches well above its size thanks to two institutions: a university and a golf course.
The Home of Golf and Scotland's third-oldest university
Golf has been played on the links at St Andrews since at least the 15th century, and the Old Course — along with the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, founded in 1754 — has given the town its enduring title as the Home of Golf, drawing players from around the world to the same stretch of coastal turf.
St Andrews' other defining institution predates the golf club by centuries: the University of St Andrews was founded in 1413, making it Scotland's oldest university and the third-oldest in the English-speaking world, after Oxford and Cambridge. The ruins of St Andrews Cathedral, once the largest church in Scotland and a major medieval pilgrimage site, still stand above the harbour.
What that history doesn't leave behind
St Andrews' student population and seasonal golf visitors keep its shops busy, but the town has never had a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines.

Between term-time demand and a location that's a drive from Dundee or Edinburgh, ordering online is the simpler way to stock up for a formal, a society event or a family visit.
