St Andrews Castle
Delve into over 800 years of Scottish history at St Andrews Castle, dramatically positioned on a cliff overlooking the North Sea in Fife. This evocative ruin was once a bishop’s fortress, prison, and seat of ecclesiastical power during the Reformation. Wander through Cistern Tower, Chapel Ruins, and the notorious medieval tunnel famed for its 16th-century hot bladder-of-water pit. Interpretive panels reveal dramatic tales of church-state conflict, rebellious lairds, and Scottish ecclesiastical intrigue. Ideal for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and fans of atmospheric ruins blending with sea-swept landscapes.
