Outstanding Cultural Attractions

St Andrews’ historical significance in the past shaped it into the quaint town it is today. Visitors can experience the culture of St Andrews as they wonder around the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral, where it is still possible to climb the medieval St Rule’s Tower to gaze out across the surrounding area. The nearby St Andrews Castle is worth an explore too, especially to learn all about its innovative prison carved out of solid rock!
