Why St Andrews Cathedral matters

The ruins of this once-huge medieval cathedral stand beside the sea. You can climb the tall square tower of St Rule's for a view of the town's rooftops and the coast, and then wander the graveyard overlooking the waves. The castle ruins are also close by, perched above the cliffs.

Talking points

  • St Rule's Tower can be climbed.
  • The ruins sit beside a seafront graveyard.
