The ruins of St Andrews Castle lie right on the coast, with magnificent sea views. In its near 500-year history, the castle has served as a palace, fortress and prison – and now a rather marvellous stop on a hike. The castle has an extraordinary history, so be sure to read about it and check out the information boards.

Vandring

Here you can explore a castle that was caught in the Protestant Reformation struggle for hearts and minds. St Andrews Castle was a bishop’s palace, a fortress and a state prison during its 450-year history. Protestant preacher George Wishart may have been imprisoned in the castle’s bottle dungeon. Cardinal Beaton’s murdered body was certainly kept in the dank and airless hole. The assassination sparked the brutal siege of 1546-47, when opposing sides dug the remarkable mine and countermine into the rock close to the castle battlements.
