What To Expect
St Andrews Castle
Delve into over 800 years of Scottish history at St Andrews Castle, dramatically positioned on a cliff overlooking the North Sea in Fife. This evocative ruin was once a bishop’s fortress, prison, and seat of ecclesiastical power during the Reformation. Wander through Cistern Tower, Chapel Ruins, and the notorious medieval tunnel famed for its 16th-century hot bladder-of-water pit. Interpretive panels reveal dramatic tales of church-state conflict, rebellious lairds, and Scottish ecclesiastical intrigue. Ideal for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and fans of atmospheric ruins blending with sea-swept landscapes. The supplier will promptly send you an email with your entry ticket as soon as your reservation is confirmed. It is not possible to skip the security lines. There could be a line at the entrance and is mandatory for all visitors.
