Wardlaw Museum
About
The University of St Andrews' free museum on The Scores, close to the castle, with four galleries covering the University's history and research since 1410 alongside its art, science and natural history collections. A sea-view terrace and garden give it one of the better views of any indoor stop in town, and free admission makes it an easy add to a day that already includes the castle and cathedral next door.
