All roads merge in St. Andrews, centre of medieval and modern pilgrimage, at a Celtic place of prayer. Columba and Andrew, Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant conjoin, in a place where religious conflict in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries claimed victims on all sides.

Each of the town’s main thoroughfares points to the Cathedral. Explore the life of medieval pilgrims at St Andrews Museum. Visit the distinctive churches of many traditions, including Holy Trinity Parish Church in the centre where John Knox preached his first sermon as a Protestant. The University retains its medieval colleges, with St Salvator ‘s notable chapel. Then progress to the Cathedral with its ruined majesty and superb artefacts, including the St Andrews Sarcophagus, a masterwork of Celtic Christian stone carving, and the freestanding St Rule’s Tower. The relics of St Andrew, however, reputedly brought from Greece by St Rule were dispersed at the Reformation.

By pilgrim town and Cathedral ruin we come finally to St Mary’s Chapel by the sea, solitary point of contemplation, and probably the site of the first Celtic monastery. They took literally the command to carry faith to the ends of the earth. But what grew eventually here was not simple monastic cell but a consciously crafted Scottish Jerusalem.
