Justin Bieber in St Andrews

Justin Bieber Spotted in St Andrews – Wait, What?!

Yes, you read that right — Justin Bieber was in St Andrews last week, and honestly, we’re still not over it. One minute you’re walking down Market Street for chips, the next you’re brushing shoulders with a global pop icon casually humming the menu at Cromars.

It all started when Bieber decided to spend a few days in Scotland, mixing golf swings with seaside strolls. He was spotted at the Castle Course in St Andrews (in true Scottish fashion, battling the wind), before heading into town to enjoy some good old fish & chips — and yes, apparently, he sang his order to the staff. Legend.

After that, the singer popped up in Dundee, where he filmed part of a spontaneous music video and spent time with locals at Abandon Ship Bar. Fans across Fife went into full detective mode, piecing together photos, TikToks, and even a few slightly blurry pub selfies.

So what’s the verdict?
✔︎ Global superstar.
✔︎ Down-to-earth vibes.
✔︎ Unexpected Scottish adventure.

At ISSFT, we love seeing famous faces discover St Andrews’ charm — the same cobbled streets, beaches, and local spots our students explore every summer. Maybe next time Justin’s back, we’ll invite him to our Clan Games or a Ceilidh night. We think he’d fit right in.
