Welcome to St Andrews & East Fife.
St Andrews is one of the most ancient of Scottish towns, it
could be described as the town which gave Scotland its
patron saint, when a saintly monk named Rule, who lived in
western Greece, travelled here with his most treasured
possession: a box which contained a human arm bone, three
fingers from a right hand, one tooth and a kneecap; all
genuine relics of St Andrew.
