St. Andrews
Ancient Castle -
The Ancient Castle, at on time the fortified home of its Bishops and
Archbishops. Within its walls is the gloomy Bottle Dungeon, hollowed out of
solid rock and outwith its walls is the subterranean passage, believed to have
been mined when the Castle was besieged after the assassination of Cardinal
Bethume.
|
The Cathedral was built between 1160 and 1318. |
Scotland's oldest University -
The history of the University goes back to the great days of the Cathedral.
The time of troubles with England, when Scottish scholars
were being cut off
from the continent of Europe by the English blockade. Scotland's first
University was founded at St. Andrews in 1411.
|
|
The Royal and
Ancient Golf Course-
Overlooking the first teeing ground is the Royal and Ancient Golf Club where
the rules of the game as we know the today were first formulated. The rules
were drawn up for the benefit of the Fifeshire gentleman who were the
members of the club when it was founded in 1754.

Lade Brae Walk
This is a very pleasant walk that follows the line of
the Kennisburn.
Depending on how slow or how fast one may walk it can take about 1 to 1 1/2
hours to complete.
Take your time and enjoy the walk. Stop and take a seat and relax to the
gentle wind through the trees and the flow to the water in the Kennisburn.
One may even meet those out for a walk with the family or the dog walker,
jogger's, or even the occasional cyclist.
