Places to see in ( St. Andrews - UK )
St. Andrews is a seaside town northeast of Edinburgh, on Scotland’s east coast. It's known for its many golf courses, including the Old Course, with the landmark Swilcan Bridge at the 18th hole. The British Golf Museum chronicles the history of U.K. golf. On a headland nearby are the ruins of St. Andrews Castle, with its medieval bottle dungeon. Close to the castle is the University of St. Andrews, founded in 1413.
St. Andrews is a town on the east coast of Fife in Scotland, 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Dundee and 30 miles (50 km) northeast of Edinburgh. The town of St. Andrews is home to the University of St Andrews, the third oldest university in the English-speaking world and the oldest in Scotland. According to some rankings, it is ranked as the third best university in the United Kingdom, behind Oxbridge.
St. Andrews is named after Saint Andrew the Apostle. There has been an important church in St Andrews since at least the 8th century, and a bishopric since at least the 11th century . The settlement grew to the west of St Andrews cathedral with the southern side of the Scores to the north and the Kinness burn to the south. The burgh soon became the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, a position which was held until the Scottish Reformation. The famous cathedral, the largest in Scotland, now lies in ruins.
St Andrews is also known worldwide as the home of golf. This is in part because the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, founded in 1754, exercises legislative authority over the game worldwide (except in the United States and Mexico), and also because the famous links (acquired by the town in 1894) is the most frequent venue for The Open Championship, the oldest of golf's four major championships.
Visitors travel to St Andrews in great numbers for several courses ranked amongst the finest in the world, as well as for the sandy beaches. The Martyrs Memorial, erected to the honour of Patrick Hamilton, George Wishart, and other martyrs of the Reformation epoch, stands at the west end of the Scores on a cliff overlooking the sea.

St Andrews Castle
St Andrews Castle has a violent and grisly history!
The castle's bottle dungeon is a dank and airless pit cut out of solid rock below the north-west tower. It housed local miscreants who fell under the Bishop's jurisdiction as well as several more prominent individuals such as David Stuart, Duke of Rothesay in 1402, Duke Murdoch in 1425, and Archbishop Patrick Graham, who was judged to be insane and imprisoned in his own castle in 1478. (Too dark to film bottle dungeon!)
There has been a fortification of some sort on this site since the 12th century. The castle was built as a defensive residence by Bishop Rodger. It has 400 hundred years of violent history and was destroyed and rebuilt many times. Incorporated into the Fore Tower are the remains of the Gate Tower built in 1200. It fell to the English in 1296, during which improvements were made in preparation to receive England`s King Edward. The Scots retook the castle in 1314 and dismantled it as part of Robert the Bruce`s policy of slighting castles.
Bishop William Lamberton made repairs to the castle from 1315 to 1320. In 1330 the castle again fell to the English. In 1337 the castle was recaptured by Sir Andrew Moray, Regent of Scotland, in a siege that lasted three weeks. The Scots destroyed the castle so that it would be unusable therefore preventing it from falling into English hands.
It lay in ruins until the end of the 14th century when Bishop Walter Trail ordered the castle to be rebuilt. He died here in 1401. It became the residence of the most powerful church leaders in Scotland. James I received his education from Bishop Henry Wardlaw here. Bishop Wardlaw was the founder of Scotland`s first University in 1410.
In 1521 Archbishop James Beaton began refortification of St. Andrews to withstand artillery fire. In 1537, he named his nephew, David, his appointed successor. In 1538, David became Archbishop of St. Andrews and a Cardinal of the Church.
Patrick Hamilton learned the teachings of Martin Luther and studied in Paris before he returned to the University at St. Andrews to teach. A supporter of the new reformation views, the Archbishop of St. Andrews had him arrested for heresy. Found guilty he was asked to recant, refusing to do so he was sentenced to death. On a cold, wintry day in February 1528, Patrick was burned at the stake outside St. Salvator`s Church. The difficulty of lighting the fire and the need to relight it several times prolonged the agony of his death for over six hours. It is said that the reek of Patrick Hamilton infected all on whom it blew, and, also, that an image of his face appeared miraculously on one of the stones on the clock tower as he died.
The Archbishop of St Andrews, Cardinal David Beaton (1494-1546), had the Protestant Preacher, George Wishart, taken to North Street in March 1546, where he was tied to a stake and burned alive. It is said Beaton watched this gruesome event from the comfort of the Bishop`s Castle. This made him many enemies.
It was not long after Preacher Wishart`s execution a group of Fife Lairds, who were Protestants, entered the castle dressed as workmen and found Beaton asleep in his bed (May 1546). His slain body was hung, naked, from the battlements of castle`s Tower House. And so like a butcher he lived, and like a butcher he died, and lay seven months and more unburied, and at last like a carrion was buried in a dunghill. The rebels held the castle for about a year, during which time the Earl of Arran held siege on the castle inflicting extensive damage. The castle was bombarded by cannon fire. He had guns mounted on the towers of St. Andrews Cathedral and St. Salvator`s Church. He finally defeated the rebels, one of whom was John Knox, with the arrival of the French fleet adding more cannons to the artillery`s fire power.
Archbishop John Hamilton succeeded Cardinal Beaton. Again the task of rebuilding the castle had begun. Upon his release, Knox returned to Scotland more dedicated than ever to the Protestant cause. In 1559, his preaching during the Reformation roused the fanatics in the mob to the point where they ransacked both the castle and Cathedral, eventually destroying them both. The Act of Annexation turned the castle and it`s land over to the Crown in1587. It then fell to ruin and in 1654 it was dismantled supplying building material for the harbour walls.
A mine and countermine had been dug from inside the castles grounds. Rediscovered in the 1900`s during local construction, was a large chamber where a underground battle had taken place. Further excavation uncovered a countermine with several false starts, making these siege works the finest of its kind in Europe.
Today's visitors are able to make their way down the countermine and into the mine, though it's not somewhere for those with claustrophobia!

St. Andrews castle, Fife, Scotland
The site was fortified by the 1100's, and from around 1200 it was adopted as the main residence of the bishops and archbishops of St. Andrews. As such, the castle became the principal administrative centre of the Scottish church and was the setting for some of the key events in Scottish history.
Almost nothing remains of the earliest structure which suffered badly during the Wars of Independence and was finally rendered indefensible by the Scots in 1337 to avoid it being held again by the English.
George Wishart was born in 1513. He taught New Testament Greek as schoolmaster of Montrose until he was investigated for heresy by the Bishop of Brechin in 1538. He escaped to England, but was soon brought up on charges once again for teaching heresy. In 1544 he travelled into Scotland teaching and doing some iterant preaching. One of his followers was a young man by the name of John Knox. As he went from place to place denouncing the papacy, Knox and others grew in their resistance to the Church's dominance. In January, 1545 he was seized and arrested by the order of Cardinal David Beaton. He spent some time in the dungeons of Edinburgh Castle. Finally Beaton had Wishart brought to St. Andrews where he was burned at the stake on March 1st, 1545.
The Castle saw many notable visitors, including the young James 1 who visited in 1410. The Castle also served as a strong and grim prison. An especially striking remnant of this role is the bottle dungeon, a bottle shaped pit dug 22ft down into the rock below the Sea Tower and accessible only via the narrow neck opening through a trap door from the floor of tower vault. Into this prisoners could simply be lowered, or dropped, and forgotten.

A Wee Guide to St Andrews Scotland | 10 Must See Things In St Andrews
Because, I, (Jason), lived in the quaint village of St. Andrews Scotland for a couple months on clinical placement and had come through this village a hand full of other times with Heather while living in the country, we highly recommend these top 10 things to do and see in St. Andrews! The compiled list of 10 things we recommend anyone coming to St. Andrews to do may not come as an obvious or no brainer to everyone, therefore grabbing a beer at St. Andrews Brewing Co., trying Jannettas Gelato, exploring the wee cave under St. Andrews Castle, or eating a delicious flame-grilled burger or steak from Balgove Larder Steak Barn may be something you'd like to do as well!
So YES, we recommend anyone going to Scotland to definitely make a stop for a day or two in this golf capital of the world called St Andrews. There are many things that didn't make the list, so if you have questions on what else to see and do here, please don't hesitate in asking away in the comments section.

Magiczne Miejsca - St Andrews
St Andrews to wyjątkowe, urokliwe miasteczko we wschodniej Szkocji.
Miejscowość ta w dawnych latach stanowiła religijne centrum, o czym dzisiaj przypominają piękne, choć zrujnowane zabytki: Dawny zamek biskupi oraz Katedra Św. Andrzeja.
Poza zabytkami miasteczko jest słynne z działającego tu uniwersytetu, trzeciego najstarszego w całej Wielkiej Brytanii.
Obecnie St Andrews to coraz popularniejsze miejsce, chętnie odwiedzane przez turystów, oraz zapalonych golfiarzy.
