In this episode of "The Secret of St. Andrews," we delve into the historic visit of Benjamin Franklin to St. Andrews in 1759. Franklin's honorary Doctor of Laws degree and the freedom of the borough were significant achievements for the town and university, setting the stage for secret diplomatic efforts. Discover how this visit, orchestrated by influential members of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, opened covert channels between American and Scottish patriots, forging a bond that would persist through the Revolutionary War.
