      St Andrews Castle is a ruin located on a rocky promontory overlooking a small beach called Castle Sands and the adjoining North Sea. There has been a castle standing at the site since the times of Bishop Roger (1189-1202), son of the Earl of Leicester. It housed the burgh’s wealthy and powerful bishops while St Andrews served as the ecclesiastical centre of Scotland during the years before the Protestant Reformation. The castle’s grounds are now maintained by Historic Scotland, and include a visitor centre with displays on its history. Some of the best surviving carved fragments from the castle are displayed in the centre, which also has a shop.

      St Andrews Cathedral is a ruined Roman Catholic cathedral, built in 1158 and became the centre of the Medieval Catholic Church in Scotland as the seat of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and the Bishops and Archbishops of St Andrews. It fell into ruin after Catholic mass was outlawed during the 16th Century Scottish Reformation. By looking at the ruins you can estimate the cathedral was approximately 119m (391 feet) long.

      The West Sands at St Andrews is a long stretch of sand backed by the famous Royal & Ancient Golf Club. You may also recognise it as the beach was used for the famous opening sequence of Chariots of Fire. The beach is sandy, stretches for 3 km (2 miles), is backed by large grass areas and sand dunes. Multiple options to park along the full 3 km length. The more you head away from the town of St Andrews the less access to facilities. At points along the road you have walkways taking you across the dunes onto the beach itself.
