St Andrews Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.
