Tour Scotland Travel Vldeo Coast And Castle St Andrews Fife

Tour Scotland Summer travel video of the coast by the castle on ancestry visit to St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. On a headland by the coast stand the ruins of the city's castle, which was the main residence of the bishops and archbishops of St Andrews. Protestant preacher George Wishart was imprisoned in the castle’s bottle dungeon. Cardinal Beaton’s murdered body was kept in the dank and airless dungeon. The assassination sparked the brutal siege of 1546, when opposing sides dug into the rock close to the castle battlements. St. Andrews is a seaside town northeast of Edinburgh, on Scotland’s east coast. It's known for its many golf courses, including the Old Course, with the landmark Swilcan Bridge at the 18th hole. The British Golf Museum chronicles the history of U.K. golf. Close to the castle is the University of St. Andrews, founded in 1413.
