The road from Dundee to the University of St Andrews is everything you'd expect from a drive down the south-east coast of Scotland.
After a gentle crawl out of the city and across the Tay River bridge, the A92 curves slightly inland before spilling out onto a wide horizon of rolling green farmland.
The highway passes through villages with names like Drumoig, Pickletillum, and Kincaple; some no more than a few cottages wide, ringed by ancient trees or low fences of stormy-grey stone.
