Sydney Uni EU people will remember Doug Forbes, the very popular Scot who came over to Sydney on exchange back in 2001/2. Since then Doug has married Hannah, and has settled in Dundee where he is doing a PhD while Hannah works as a physio. It's been good to see them, especially to finally meet the woman (Hannah) who was causing Doug so much heartbreak while he was in Oz. Full marks for persistence Dougie, she's an absolute gem!!!
St Andrews is a lovely town, one of the highlights being the ruins of St Andrew's Cathedral:
Embarrassingly, over-zealous reformers turned this magnificent and massive structure into the ruin we see today. Very sad. Points for the name of the very famous sporting club seen in the photo below, and points for the famous movie scene which was shot on this St Andrews beach.

Old St Andrew's Golf Course.
Chariots of Fire?
Ditto.
PS Hi Doug & Hannah!
whew, beat Byron to the punch!
10 points to MPJ for picking Chariots of Fire as the movie, the scene (which is what I actually asked for) being the opening where the they're all running along the beach.
As for the sporting club, the Old Course at St Andrews is the name of the course (you can see the 1st tee and the 18 green in the picture), but its NOT the name of the club, and its the name of the club which owns the Old Course that I'm am after.
Points still up for grabs.
The club is the grey building, if that's of any help.
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.
10 points to moffitt the prophet. I just checked your blog. Nasty injury you got there.
