Tour Scotland Photograph Video Cemetery St Andrews Fife





Tour Scotland video of the old cemetery in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. There was a monastic community in St Andrews in the 8th century. Due to pressure on Iona from the Vikings, the centre of the church in Scotland moved east, first to Dunkeld, Perthshire, and then to Kilrymont, the Celtic name by which St Andrews was known in those days. A church, dedicated to St Rule was built there early in the 12th century. Legend has it that St Rule, or St Regulus, was the original guardian of the relics of St Andrew.
