Hepburns Top Five

We love being part of the St Andrews community – it’s such a lovely place to work and live! As the manager of our St Andrews salon, Jo knows a thing or two about where to go and what to do in this amazing town.

Here’s Jo’s top 5 tips on how to make the most of your time in St Andrews, whether you’re a local, fresher or planning a visit.

What’s your favourite bar in St. Andrews?

My favourite bar is The West Port - their cocktails are so yummy!

Favourite spot to hang out with friends?

I like to hang with friends at Craigtoun Park. If it's raining, grabbing a coffee at Gorgeous cafe is fun too!

Things to do on a lazy afternoon in St. Andrews?

If the sun is shining then Castle Sands is my favourite hidden gem!

It's the quietest beach of the three and one that only locals really know about.

Where to eat in St. Andrews?

My boyfriend Angus is a chef at Playfairs restaurant, so I'm majorly bias! The irn bru creme brûlée is to die for!

What’s your favourite thing about living in St. Andrews?

My favourite thing about living in St Andrews is when there is an event on in town. You get to meet so many different people who are visiting the town and come into the salon. I love hearing everyone’s stories and why they are here to visit. Some people travel thousands of miles to visit our home - that's pretty special!
