The dorm Ryan wants when he heads off to St Andrews: St Salvatore
This tile of Eric Liddle the famous "Flying Scot" from Chariots of Fire was just outside our hotel in St Andrews.


This is a 360 of St Salvatore, the dorm Ryan wants. Listen for the church bells in the background.

Ryan In Scotland - Visiting St Andrews

The greatest landmark in St Andrews is this massive ruin from 1199. No one builds churches this way anymore.




















Overlooking the 18th green of St Andrews Golf Club - the birthplace of golf.








As he made his way to St Andrews, he topped a hill when, suddenly the town and University were in sight.













Ryan stands at the location where Patrick Hamilton was burned at the stake for teaching the Reformational truths of Martin Luther, becoming the first martyr of Scotland of the Reformation period. Ryan avoided stepping on the stones honoring Patrick Hamilton.
