About this animation
–
Using the power of artificial intelligence, and a carefully crafted narrative, this short film brings Old Tom Morris—born in 1821—back to life.
The video was created by two locals from the St Andrews Visitor Guide, Zuying Dong and Sandy Mitchell (now a community councillor), who transformed the classic painting of Old Tom that hangs in the Royal and Ancient Golf Clubhouse of St Andrews.
The image of Tom Morris is reproduced by kind permission of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.
Discover the Stories Behind Our Streets
We are proud to share a special resource from Ken Fraser (family friend), former Community Councillor and co-author of a much‑loved book on St Andrews Street Names.
It’s a fascinating glimpse into the history woven through our everyday paths. Huge thanks to Ken and Veronica for allowing us to share this and helping us keep this heritage alive.
