St Andrews Cathedral
The cathedral was built in 1158 and became the centre of the Medieval Catholic Church in Scotland. It fell into disuse and ruin after Catholic mass was outlawed during the 16th-century. It is currently a monument in the custody of Historic Scotland. The ruins indicate that the building was approximately 119m (391 feet) long, and is the largest church to have been built in Scotland.
Home of Golf
On our recent trip to Scotland we visited St Andrews to see the home of golf and the famous 18th hole.

Land Ho
We sailed from Kirkwall to the Isle of Skye and this was the first land we saw from the starboard side of the ship.
Scott Monument
This gothic tower was built in 1846 to honor the writer Sir Walter Scott.
Earl’s Palace
Kirkwall was our next stop after Edinburgh. It was dreary out so it was black and white film for the day. Kirkwall is the capital of Orkney and this palace was built in 1607 by Patrick, Earl of Orkney.
