Robert of Montrose, the Prior of St Andrews donated land to build a college which was dedicated to St John in 1419
where St Mary’s College now stands.
The first steps in the foundation of the St Mary’s College were taken in St Andrews Castle on
7 February 1539, and in the chapel of St John the Evangelist in South Street, on the 10th of February the same year.
St Andrews over the centuries has been centre of the church in Scotland. St Andrews origins as the centre of Christianity are recorded in the 8th century AD, when the Pictish kings ruled eastern Scotland.
The ruins of St Andrews Cathedral and St Andrews Castle which is on the shore of the Scores still remain today. Following the Reformation, St Mary’s College was made the home of St Andrews University’s Faculty of Divinity in 1579 as it is today.
