All About Edinburgh
St Andrews Attractions
St Andrews is known for Golf and the University. So I took a trip to St Andrews and took pictures of Buildings Plaques Monuments etc and ended up with over 80 different places to visit all in walking distance of the centre of St Andrews.
Just like my www.allaboutedinburgh.co.uk look at Edinburgh, I have now completed St Andrews.
Famous People + Places. history and interesting facts.
Saint Andrew
Born circa AD 5 - Died AD 65
Saint Andrew or Saint Andréa's of Greece is the patron saint of Scotland.
His bones were brought from Greece by a holy man named Rule, later St Rule (Regulus) from the area of Patras in Greece in the mid-4th century AD. Rule protected the bones of Saint Andrew from the Romans by taking them as far north from Greece as possible ending his journey in Scotland. Circa 1070 in the time of Malcolm III a church (St Rule’s Tower St Andrews Fife) was built to protect the bones of St Andrew.
Queen Margaret visited St Andrews on many pilgrimages and may have had
A part in the building of the church.
