St Andrews Cathedral The Pends St Andrews
St Andrews Cathedral and Rules Tower

The Cathedral of St Andrews byggdes cirka 1160 och var det religiösa centrumet för den medeltida katolska kyrkan i Skottland.  Den lämnades ur bruk och föll i ruiner efter att den katolska mässan förbjöds 1560.

Den skotska reformationen i Skottland kom till en spets med ikonoklasm (avsiktlig förstörelse av religiösa ikoner eller monument) över hela Skottland. St Andrews var målet för församlingens herrars armé när de förstörde alters och religiösa ikoner och vitkalkade kyrkornas väggar.
