St Andrews Cathedral was built around 1158 in the Norman style and is the largest church to have been built in Scotland. Towards the end of the 16th century, the central tower collapsed, taking the north wall with it. Much of the ruins were then removed for re-use in construction and nothing was done to preserve them until 1826, after which the cathedral was scrupulously maintained.
St Salvator's Chapel, founded in 1450, is one of the two chapels of St Andrews University, the other being St Leonard's Chapel. The chapel has a late Gothic architectural style, but underwent alterations in the late 17th century, in the 1860s and throughout the 20th century. St Salvator's is the only university chapel in Scotland to have a complete set of six bells. Four new bells were added to Catherine and Elizabeth (the existing bells) as part of the university's 600th-anniversary celebrations in 2010.
When stepping up to Canongate Kirk you may be excused for not quite knowing what the building is. The front is unusual with its flat facade, heavy Doric porch and strange Dutch style gable, topped by a set of real antlers.
