...and what more,
Hi all,
Can I use the expression "AND WHAT MORE" as follows, or should I start a new sentence with it? Or both possibilities are OK? Thank you.
St Andrews is known worldwide as the capital of golf and what more, it boasts the oldest university in Scotland and the third oldest in Britain.

... of golf, and moreover, it boasts...
... of golf, and in addition, it boasts...
Note that it's not "what more" but "what's more" for "what is more."

And what's more (and what is more)
You need at least a comma after "golf." I think one sentence is okay. Personally, I'd be inclined to start a second one, in this particular case. Your first statement is quite strong, and a rush to the second would detract from it.

Thank you, it was really helpful.
Is the end of the sentence OK, or should I add "ONE"?
...It boasts the oldest university in Scotland and the third oldest in Britain.
