Excerpt from The Heart of Jessy Laurie St. Andrews is the religious capital of Scotland. It is the essence of all the antiquity of that country, and the national flavor may be felt and tasted in its stately streets, with their spiritual traditions and romances, their dignified air of association with bishops and archbishops, reformers and professors. Nowhere in Scotland is there such sweep and breadth of sky, nowhere is the sea so beautiful a sapphire, sparkling sea, reaching without a break to Norway. Fringed with white foam, the waves go racing up the yellow sands, and will not rest until they reach the ben across which lie the famous golf-links a course nearly five miles round of velvety, springy, elastic turf, the finest green in the whole wide world. In the foreground are the Forfarshire hills Showing patches of various color, and away in the distance the Grampians, crowned with the crest of dark Lochnagar, at the foot of which lies Bal moral.
