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

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of a road trip drive from Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife, with Scottish music, North on the B9131 road to visit the Historic Cathedral Ruins and Graveyard in St Andrews, Fife. The Cathedral of St Andrew is a historical church in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, which was the seat of the Bishops, later Archbishops, of St Andrews from its foundation in 1158 until it fell into disuse after the Reformation. It is currently a ruined monument in the custody of Historic Scotland. The ruins indicate the great size of the building at 350 feet. The cathedral was founded to supply more accommodation than the older church of St. Regulus. Work began on the new cathedral in 1158 and continued for over a century. 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. The B9131 road is a secondary short cut across east Fife, connecting the A917 in Brownhills, just east of St Andrews, to the same road in Anstruther Easter via Dunino, Stravithie and Drumrack.
