Tour Scotland Autumn Video Castle And Coast St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland Autumn video of the castle and coast on ancestry visit to St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish 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 (1189-1202), 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. In their Latin charters, the Archbishops of St Andrews wrote of the castle as their Palace.
