Part tribute to the man who was Old Tom Morris\, as well as the other great characters of Scottish History that he has had the honour to portray\, his talk will be sprinkled with some humorous anecdotes\, speculation on their lives\, and possibly even opinions about golf. \nLocation: St Andrews Bowling Club\, 1 Pipeland Road\, St Andrews KY16 8JN \nDate: Tuesday 28th January 2025 \nTime: 2:30pm \n					\n									Member Tickets £3\n					\n					\n									Non-Member Tickets £5

SUMMARY:Annual Lecture - What Makes St Andrews Special
DESCRIPTION:Annual Lecture – What Makes St Andrews Special\nThis year\, Nigel Edward Morecroft will talk about his book St Andrews: Camelot of Golf. Partly a social history\, he will discuss the role of artisans\, women and students in shaping modern St Andrews and will explain that for a small town\, St Andrews possessed unusually varied and talented people across all strata of society who not only established St Andrews as the ‘Home of Golf’ but also took golf to the rest of the world. While he will refer to golf and golfers\, the town of St Andrews rather than sport will be the main theme of the presentation. \n \n \nAcademics refer to Genius Loci\, or the essence of a place\, so one particular aspect he will explore\, and would like to discuss with the audience\, is ‘What makes St Andrews Special?’ and why his question produces an array of different answers. He hopes to gain some new insights from devotees of the Preservation Trust! \n \n \nThe talk will be accompanied by attractive illustrations including paintings\, photographs and railway posters which will highlight how these striking images\, along with the written word in the form of poems and books\, all helped to establish perceptions about St Andrews during the period from 1850 to 1950. \n					\n									Click here for Non-Member Tickets (£8)\n					\n					\n									Click here for Member Tickets (£6)\n					 \nThe event is taking place at St Andrews Bowling Club\, 1 Pipeland Road\, St Andrews KY16 8JN. \nIt will be held at 7pm on the 27th of November.

SUMMARY:Autumn Talk 2: Biba and the Jetsons of Kilrymont
DESCRIPTION:Biba and the Jetsons of Kilrymont\n17 September\, 2.30pm at the St Andrews Bowling Club. Hosted by Ian Davidson. \nThis talk will take a look at the design of this School and the influences of the 1950s and 60s on its architect. It will reveal an amazing amalgam of Scandinavian\, Japanese\, Modernist and American elements. The space race can be discerned in its shapes and materials\, as can the colours of the swinging 60’s. It was the final fling of the County Architect. This talk will confirm that after WW2 St Andrews was a dynamic and forward-looking town that embraced opportunity and celebrated its heritage of education.

SUMMARY:STAPT Winter Talks 2023: "Dean Linskill and The Adventuress" Stephen Liscoe
DESCRIPTION:As Dean of Guilds William Thomas Linskill was a significant figure in the recent civil history of St Andrews\, and also in the pre-eminence of golf in the town. Aside from his devotion to the town as a civil servant he was a man of antiquarian interests – and some peculiar obsessions. One in particular is a lost chapter of the town’s recent past.\n\nStephen Liscoe\n\nFormerly a diving archaeologist working as part of the Mary Rose excavation team I spent the last decades of the 20thC working on coastal survey boats undertaking diving inspection and hydrographic survey of historic shipwrecks sites for HM Govt. I was concurrently a staff research er at the Scottish institute of Maritime Studies here at the University of St Andrews until I joined the Fife Council’s Archaeological Unit. The Unit provides historical\, archaeological and planning advice and information to Fife Council but also deals with archaeological and related enquiries from the public and external organisations. I have been part of the Unit since 2004 and am responsible for maintaining and developing the Fife Sites & Monuments Record\, containing over 11\,000 records of archaeological sites for Fife.
