The Magic of St Andrews

Founded by the late Graham Proctor in 2013, around 200 ill or injured military veterans from the UK, the USA, Australia, and Canada, have visited St Andrews and experienced the benefits of a week in Scotland’s most celebrated town. Not only is it The Home of Golf, St Andrews is among the world’s premier leisure destinations, it is a crucible of Scottish history, and it is host to a 600-year-old university. Situated right on the North Sea coast, St Andrews is like its ocean neighbour: alive, vibrant, and invigorating.

Graham spoke of “the magic of St Andrews”, a place where, in the right company, healing, good fellowship, and a renewed sense of purpose can be found.

What we look for

We identify participants through personal contacts and in collaboration with other veterans organisations. Golfing ability is a factor, but enthusiasm and a willingness to take on the adventure are also vital characteristics.

Safe and Secure

St Andrews Legacy provides a safe and secure environment for veterans to communicate with one another, to exchange experiences, and to have a great time.

World class golf

Participants have enjoyed the best golf in the world, primarily at St Andrews Links, including the Old Course, but also elsewhere in Scotland, including Crail, Machrihanish, Royal Aberdeen, Gleneagles, Castle Stuart, Kingsbarns, The Duke’s, and Dumbarnie.
