Tour Scotland Photograph Start of Kate Kennedy Procession

Tour Scotland photograph of the start of the Kate Kennedy Procession outside the Quadrangle of St Salvator's College in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. A student portraying Saint Andrew leading the procession from the Quadrangle into North Street, St Andrews. Several legends state that the relics of Andrew were brought by divine guidance from Constantinople to the place where the modern Scottish town of St Andrews stands today. The oldest surviving manuscripts are two: one is among the manuscripts collected by Jean-Baptiste Colbert and willed to Louis XIV of France, now in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, the other is the Harleian Mss in the British Library, London, England. They state that the relics of Andrew were brought by one Regulus to the Pictish king Óengus mac Fergusa. The only historical Regulus, Riagail or Rule, whose name is preserved in the tower of St Rule was an Irish monk expelled from Ireland with Saint Columba. There are good reasons for supposing that the relics were originally in the collection of Acca, bishop of Hexham, who took them into Pictish country when he was driven from Hexham, and founded a see, not, according to tradition, in Galloway, but on the site of St Andrews.
