Tour Scotland Autumn Photograph Old Harbour Wall St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland Autumn photograph of the old harbour wall in, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. The Fife Coastal Walking Path goes past the harbour area of St Andrews, with fine views of St Andrews Castle which was the chief residence of the bishops, and later archbishops, of St Andrews. They were Scotland’s leading churchmen, and lived in a manner reflecting their exalted status. They also had to be prepared to defend themselves and the property of the Church, hence their strong castle. During its 450 year history, the castle served as episcopal palace, fortress and state prison.
