St Andrews Artwork, East Sands
Fife

This is a busy photograph. On the left is the artwork, “A Poem For St Andrews” and student accommodation and a creche for the children of university students.

On the right a coffee stall (with tables) a sauna (with access to the beach and sea) and a leisure centre and pool.

The beach is in the foreground.

The poem on the wall, “East Sands” written by Jacob Polley, reads:

“ to pry apart a sunbeam and find yellow like imperfect gilding, violet and purplish black lacquer of a lobster claw, bottle-green depths and dandelion interiors, the frilly white of shoreline and seashell, and all light's silverwork laid bare in a solution of common salt on the common sand ”
