I know that there are so many balls and formal occassions in St Andrews, so should I buy a dress to take up with me or just wait until I get there? I'm fairly local, so packing light isn't too huge an issue. Thanks!

I suppose it depends how good your nearest population centre is for shopping, really, doesn't it? I mean, St Andrews has a smallish Monsoon and a couple of other places like that, good quality stuff if you're not the sort to quail when someone else appears in the same dress as you, but by and large most girls I know will tend to take a trip to Dundee to get anything particularly special. So if it's easy enough for you to buy one and bring it with you, you might save yourself a trip.

You're better looking at it than looking for it (as my dad likes to remind me ad infinitum.) Take the dress and should you find you need something else there's, er, monsoon, or the #99, which takes half an hour to get to Dundee, check the bus station for details (or indeed traveline website). It's actually quite nice to go to Dundee to escape the bubble once in a while. It has all the usual high street stores and I'm sure some boutiques should you have an unusally large budget.
