The St Andrews Preservation Trust runs the St Andrews Heritage Museum and Garden at 12 North Street, recently redeveloped with a new Garden Gallery. Formed in 1937 to protect historic buildings, the Trust also maintains two doocots and the freely accessible Boase Wood. Visitors can enjoy a rotating exhibition programme alongside museum events such as drop-in sessions on Scots songs and poems, suited to all ages. The Trust also hosts Autumn and Winter lectures, Hidden Gardens and an Autumn Fair. It makes a good addition to a trip to Fife, with Leuchars station 4.6 miles away and 45 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays for those wanting to explore the wider area.
