What side of the road do you drive on in St. Andrews?
In St. Andrews and across Scotland, motorists drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. To stay safe, take things slow at first and allow extra time to get from A to B.
