St Andrews, Scotland

St Andrews is a town on the east coast of Fife in Scotland. The town is named after Saint Andrew the Apostle. The settlement grew to the west of St Andrews Cathedral, the famous cathedral, the largest in Scotland, now lies in ruins.
St Andrews, in particular the large cathedral built in 1160, was the most important centre of pilgrimage in medieval Scotland and one of the most important in Europe. The Scottish Parliament met in the town in 1304, when King Edward I, in his capacity as overlord of Scotland, came to be received by Bishop William de Lamberton. As many as 130 landowners turned up to witness the event ranging from Sir John of Cambo to Sir William Murray of Fort.[
The remains of St Andrews Cathedral, which was Scotland’s largest cathedral and most magnificent church, show how impressive it used to be.
