Today we woke up in St Andrews. We are in a hotel and our room is named after Alfred Dunhill. The room overlooks the 18th hole of the Old Course. I learned golf was first played in St Andrews in the 14th century. But in the 1800s the town lost lots of money so they used the Old Course to raise rabbits. They must have needed a lot of carrots!

You saw the ruins of a castle. Were they still standing or were the really just crumbling?
