The Rotary Club of St Andrews Quiz
Welcome to the Rotary Club of St Andrews Quiz challenging you to find some of the many features and facts about St Andrews, as you enjoy your walk around the town.
Your walk starts in the lovely Kinburn Park which has some interesting history in itself and today is your starting point.
Most directional clues are given but you may also want to make use of a town map. It should take you about 80-90 minutes but you could spread over the two days and you might like to have a coffee or tea on the way around.
Please take care when crossing the roads and keep away from the harbour edge. It is not a race so take as long as you need.
Thank you also for your contribution to Rotary, which is in aid of Community Action St Andrews ( CASA ), the charity set up to help vulnerable persons in St Andrews, during this pandemic. The cost of the quiz is £5. To donate by bank transfer please make payment to:
