St. Andrews Cathedral

St. Andrews shows off the ruins of the mighty cathedral that whose construction began in 1158 and continued over a century. Wikipedia tells me that 119 m long, it is the largest church built in Scotland. In 1559 John Knox fired up the masses and the church as ransacked. By 1561 it was left to ruin and stone recycled for other uses.

AS you can see, we have now left Hungary and are spending a couple days in the St. Andrews area in preparation for our Christmas house sit in Berwick Upon Tweed, just south of the border in England.

You can't spend any time at all in St. Andrews without encountering the Hamish McHamish statue. This is the ginger cat that won hearts for this nomadic ways and the book Hamish McHamish of St Andrews: Cool Cat About Town.
