Autumn Road Trip Drive From Anstruther To Cathedral St Andrews Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes and drums, music, North on the B9131 and A915 roads from Anstruther through Dunino on ancestry visit to the Cathedral and St Rule's tower in St Andrews, Fife. The cathedral was built in 1158 and became the centre of the Medieval Catholic Church in Scotland as the seat of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and the Bishops and Archbishops of St Andrews. It fell into disuse and ruin after Catholic mass was outlawed during the 16th century Scottish Reformation. St Rule's tower is located in the Cathedral grounds but predates it, having served as the church of the priory up to the early 12th century. Legend credits St Rule, also known as St Regulus, with bringing relics of St Andrew to the area from their original location at Patras in Greece.
