Andrew, as we all know, was a Scotsman. Born on the Fife coast to a Hebrew couple who had been enslaved by the Romans and traded across Europe. Having landed on the Fife coast they settled down to work under brutal rule, but not from the Scots around them. Andrew was born in the wee village and by the time he was 9 year old had developed the game of golf by hitting wee pebbles around the sandy bunkers on the beach. However, in time a fellow Hebrew trading along the East coast of Scotland rescued them and returned the family to Galilee.
That is why St Andrews is called St Andrews. He is also the first disciple bringing Simon and the rest to listen to Jesus while at Johns baptism at the Jordan. It is difficult to believe that some people are sceptical about this story. They refuse to accept historical fact. Shame on them.
Andrew, the first disciple, a Scotsman!
