Tour Scotland April Video Drive To St Andrews Fife



Tour Scotland April video of a drive to visit St Andrews from Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. St Andrews is named after Saint Andrew the Apostle. There has been an important church in St Andrews since at least the 8th century, and a bishopric since at least the 11th century. The settlement grew to the west of St Andrews cathedral with the southern side of the Scores to the north and the Kinness burn to the south. The burgh soon became the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, a position which was held until the Scottish Reformation. The famous cathedral, the largest in Scotland, now lies in ruins. St Andrews is also known worldwide as the home of golf. This is in part because the Royal and Ancient Golf Club was founded in 1754.
