Old Photograph South Street St Andrews Fife Scotland

Old photograph of South Street, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The establishment of the present town began around 1140 by Bishop Robert. According to a charter of 1170, the new burgh was built to the West of the Cathedral precinct, along Castle Street and possibly as far as what is now known as North Street. This means that the lay-out may have led to the creation of two new streets, North Street and South Street, from the foundations of the new St Andrews Cathedral filling the area inside a two-sided triangle at its apex.
