Entry to the cathedral
grounds is free, though access to the visitors' museum
and St. Rule's Tower requires a fee or membership in
Historic Scotland. The visitors' centre houses the famous
St. Andrews Sarcophagus, perhaps the finest example
of Pictish carving in existence.
Today the cathedral grounds are an interesting and peaceful
environment in which to contemplate the events of the
last millenium. Grave stones of many prominent local
people, statesmen, clerics and golfers are to be found
there. There is also a haunted tower in which it is
alleged the "White Lady of St. Andrews" was
buried. |
