St Andrews
St Andrews is a town on the coast of Fife in eastern Scotland, known earlier as Cennrigmonaid. A Pictish church there received relics of Saint Andrew by tradition in the 8th century, and it became the seat of Scotland's chief bishop, raised to an archbishopric in 1472. Its great cathedral now lies in ruins. The University of St Andrews, founded in 1413, is Scotland's oldest, and the town is known as the home of golf.
