9. St Andrews Castle

Cross the wooden drawbridge and into this crumbling, windswept old bastion and you'll feel like an extra in a historical drama. Sitting on the headland, the sound and views of the sea-smashed coast are mesmerizing. But the dark secrets of any castle are held below, in the dungeons: the siege mine and counter-mine can be explored, and the ‘bottle dungeon' (it's the shape of a bottle) can be accessed if you don't mind bending over and scrabbling about a bit. There's a small visitor's centre and a wee shop selling local Fife goods. A joint ticket is available with the St Andrews Cathedral, St Rules Tower and the Museum.   (© 10Best)
