FIFE St Andrews St Andrews Links Trust, Pilmour House, St Andrews, KY16 9SF St Andrews is a historic university town on the Fife coast. Amongst its many attractions are the world renowned golf courses, sandy beach, picturesque streets, cathedral and castle. There are seven courses at St Andrews Links including the famous Old Course. The iconic Swilcan Bridge is on the 18th hole of the Old Course. Best Vantage Points: There are several vantage points around the edge of the 1st and 18th holes of the Old Course, which is the most famous and often-filmed part of the course. There is also a viewing garden on the roof of St Andrews Links Clubhouse which is ideal for filming the courses with some elevation. Restrictions: There are parts of the courses where filming is not permitted. Camera equipment such as tripods and ladders are not permitted on the greens. The venue does not allow filming which will disrupt play. Best Time of Day: The best time of the day is first thing in the morning. The courses are extremely busy and filming must not disrupt play. Filming can be done on the closing holes first thing before play reaches that part of the course. Filming can be done at any time of day at other parts of the Links. Permits: Permission for filming must be sought from St Andrews Links Trust. It is helpful to have at least one week’s notice. Filming is not permitted during certain tournaments which take place throughout the year. Fees: There is normally no charge for non-commercial filming unless it requires substantial assistance from staff in facilitating the filming. Public Liability Insurance Required? Anyone filming at the Links does so at their own risk and must have their own insurance cover.
