Picture of Ruins Of St Andrews Cathedral

-- The Cathedral of St Andrew in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland has its origins in the priory of Canons Regular founded during the twelfth century. The cathedral was founded in order to supply more accommodation than the church of St. Regulus -aka St. Rule- afforded. Of the old church, located on what became the cathedral grounds, built in the Romanesque style and probably dating from the 10th century, there remains the square tower, 108 feet in height, and the quire, of very diminutive proportions.
