St Andrews in Scotland

St Andrews is one of the most ancient towns in Scotland, it could be described as the town which gave Scotland its patron saint, when a saintly monk named Rule, who lived in western Greece, travelled here with his most treasured possession: a box which contained a human arm bone, three fingers from a right hand, one tooth and a kneecap; all genuine relics of St Andrew.

St Andrews is a treasure trove from the past, with the ruin of the Culdee church of St Mary on the Rock, to places where martyrs were burnt, all identified for you by plaques around the town, telling each location's story. All part of Scotland's murky past.
