Tips from the Community
Saint Andrew, to whom this former church—whose ruins still serve as a picturesque backdrop—was dedicated, belongs to the circle of the twelve apostles whom Jesus Christ called to follow him. However, in biblical accounts, he is usually somewhat overshadowed by his far more famous brother, Saint Peter. The Gospels present the calling of the two brothers in different ways. According to the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another unnamed disciple). Later, he tells his brother that he has found the Messiah. In Scotland, however, Saint Andrew is particularly venerated, as he is the patron saint of the country, and the X-shaped white "St. Andrew's Cross," on which he was executed, forms the Scottish national flag against a blue background. The feast day of Saint Andrew is celebrated on November 30th in all major Christian denominations.

I quite often cycle this route in the dark and it’s nice seeing Dundee lit up.

Try the harbour cafe, excellent cake and coffee. Open every day and run by volunteers.

It's astonishing how "new" the graves, or rather the inscriptions on the gravestones, are, given that the church was abandoned during the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century. There are at least inscriptions from recent years. We set out to find the oldest date possible, although we were far from able to verify all of them. On a wall inscription in the east, toward the old bell tower, we found 1708, and on a nearby gravestone, 1712. We didn't find any older ones, or some were weathered and unreadable.

Across the road from The Tavern pub is a bench on a patch of green that overlooks the gorgeous St Andrew's Bay. On a clear day you can see for miles up and down the coastline and out to the North Sea.

St Andrews Cathedral is the ruin of a cathedral in the Scottish town of St Andrews in the council area of Fife. The complex, located near the North Sea shore near St Andrews Castle in the historic centre of St Andrews, was central to the development of the town and its status as the Christian centre of Scotland.[1] Numerous buildings are individually listed and the entire complex is classified as a Scheduled Monument.[2] It is one of the Guardianship Monuments of Historic Scotland.[3] St Andrews Cathedral is not to be confused with the Cathedral Church of St Andrew in Inverness.
