Château de St Andrews

Le château de St Andrews (en anglais : St Andrews Castle) est une ruine située dans le bourg royal de St Andrews, en Écosse. Le château est situé sur un promontoire rocheux surplombant la petite plage de Castle Sands et la mer du Nord adjacente. Le site est occupé par un château à partir de l'épiscopat de Roger de Beaumont, évêque de St Andrews de 1189 à 1202. Il sert de résidence à ses successeurs, St Andrews étant l'un des principaux centres ecclésiastiques du royaume d'Écosse jusqu'à la Réforme protestante. Dans leurs chartes latines, les archevêques de St Andrews décrivirent le château comme leur palais, en signant « apud Palatium nostrum ». Le terrain du château est désormais entretenu par Historic Environment Scotland en tant que scheduled monument. L'accès au site se fait via un centre d'accueil avec des expositions sur son histoire. Certains des fragments sculptés les mieux conservés sont exposés dans le centre, qui abrite également une boutique.

St Leonards School

St Leonards School is a co-educational private boarding and day school for pupils aged 4–19 in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Founded in 1877 as St Andrews School for Girls Company, it adopted the St Leonards name upon moving to its current premises, the site formerly occupied by the University of St Andrews’ St Leonard's College, in 1883. The school emerged from the St Andrews Ladies' Educational Association which was established in 1868. One of the school's founders was Lewis Campbell, chairman of the college council for many years and a Classics professor at St Andrews University who advocated for higher education for women. Consequently, from its earliest days, the college's senior students were encouraged to prepare to matriculate and enjoyed close links with various courses offered at the University of St Andrews; in 1892, the Fifeshire Journal asked its readers: "Who is to enjoy the proud distinction of being the first matriculated girl-student of St Andrews?" St Leonards remained an all-girls school until 1999, upon which it became fully co-educational. As an IB World School, St Leonards offers the International Baccalaureate's Primary Years, Middle Years, Career-related and Diploma programmes alongside the English-system GCSE/IGCSE. It is one of only two schools in Scotland to teach an IB curriculum throughout.

All Saints' Church, St Andrews

All Saints' Church, St Andrews, is in North Castle Street, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland (grid reference NO512168). It is an active Scottish Episcopal Church and is a Category A listed building. The first church building on the site was a temporary iron church made by Spiers of Glasgow in May 1903, which provided seating for 150 people.

The iron structure was moved to form the nave of the church. In June 1920 the foundation stone of a new nave was laid. This was designed by Paul Waterhouse and consecrated on 1 November 1923. The current rector is Alasdair Coles.
