Greatly enjoyed visiting St Andrews Cathedral today. Stunning setting and very knowledgeable staff who went out of their way to help and inform. The grounds, including what would have been the interior of the main part of the cathedral are free to explore but some areas fenced off for safety/covid reasons. Well worth paying the small fee to access the visitor centre which has the pick of fascinating remnants of the many ages and uses of the Cathedral over the centuries. Normally this would also entitle you to access the St Rules tower but this is currently closed. I would really like to thank the superb staff on site (really wish I got your names!) for making this such a memorable visit. I will definitely be back with my family one day.

Visited back in September. Once Scotland's greatest church building. Now it's a ruin, but what a postcard picture perfect ruin. The east and west towers are two of the greatest structures still standing and the isolated remains served to magnify the brilliance of the Gothic architecture. The ground of cathedral are free to enter, you only have to pay if you want to visit the museum. The ticket would normally get you into St Rule's Tower as well, but that's not possible right now due to social distancing rules. The museum is not extensive, but does exhibit some of the best preserved elements from the ruin, history of the building and local history. Some of the best exhibits in the museum are the coffins which for me was the bizarre fascination with displaying death.

Beautiful Cathedral. Found some clues as to where Captain Avery's treasure is. Turns out he was working with Thomas Tew on something. Not sure what. Couple of hired mercenaries about the place called shoreline though. Not nice guys. Just make sure to avoid them. Brilliant piece of Scottish history.

The history to be found if you're a history buff is amazing, it goes back centuries. Like many old cemeteries, Cathedrals or old church graveyards, it's the number of young children, stillborn and young adults that is very evident. The number of elderly adults (over 80) in stark contrast to the modern cemeteries is minimal. There is a great museum if you have any time left. The only negative thing is, the lack of decent wheelchair, mobility scooter and disabled access.
