St Andrews Cathedral is now open and we are delighted to welcome you back. Booking in advance is essential. Find out more and book at restarthistory.scot. The cathedral grounds will be open Sun to Tues. The remains of St Andrews Cathedral, which was Scotland’s largest cathedral and most magnificent church, show how impressive it used to be. The museum houses an outstanding collection of early and later medieval sculptures and other relics found on the site, including the magnificent St Andrews Sarcophagus of Pictish date. The precinct walls are particularly well preserved. St Rule's Tower, in the precinct, is part of the first church of the Augustinian canons at St Andrews built in the early 12th century. There are splendid views from the top.

A must place when you go to St. Andrews. In the centre of the city, lovely to visit inside and outside, not busy this time of the year, very interesting and suggestive.

This spot does have the most wonderful atmosphere which is hard to explain. Worth a visit and judge for yourself- I think you will find you feel the urge to come back another time. The natural setting alone is truly beautiful but there is so much more to this...
