Tour Scotland February Photographs Castle And Coastline St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of the coastline and St Andrews Castle in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Shot these photographs at Low Tide this afternoon down by the old harbour in St Andrews. The castle sits on a rocky promontory overlooking a small beach called Castle Sands and the adjoining North Sea. There has been a castle standing at the site since the times of Bishop Roger, 1189 to 1202, son of the Earl of Leicester. It housed the burgh’s wealthy and powerful bishops while St Andrews served as the ecclesiastical centre of Scotland during the years before the Protestant Reformation.
