The cathedral of St Andrew is a ruined Roman Catholic cathedral in St.Andrews, Scotland.

The house of God was established to supply more convenience than the more seasoned church of St.Regulus managed. This more seasoned church, situated on what turned into the house of God grounds, had been implicit the ROMANESQUE style. 


It was implicit 1158. Today, there stays the square pinnacle, 33 metr high, and the QUIRE, of small extents. On an arrangement of the town from around 1531, and seals appended to the city and school contracts bear portrayals of different structures joined. Toward the east is a much more seasoned strict site, the CILDEE house that turned into a COLLIGATE CHURCH. 


Work started on the new basilica in 1158 and proceeded for longer than a century. The west end was blown down in a tempest and revamped somewhere in the range of 1272 and 1279. The church was at last finished in 1318 and highlighted a focal pinnacle and six turrets; of these stay two at the east and one of the two at the western furthest point, ascending to a tallness of 30 meter very nearly 100 feet. On the fifth of July it was blessed within the sight of KING ROBERT 1 who, as per legend, rode up the walkway on his pony. 


A fire part of the way annihilated the structure in 1378; reclamation and further adornment were finished in 1440. 


The house of prayer was served by a local area of Augustian groups, the St. Andrews catheral proiory, which were replacements to the Culdees of the Celtic church. 


Greyfriar and Blackfriar had properties in the town by the late fifteenth century and perhaps as late as 1518.
