SFX: CRASHING OF WAVES, CRY OF GULLS Sitting atop a rocky promontory, the castle dominates its surroundings. Steep cliffs to the north and east overlook the sea while a deep defensive ditch, cut through solid rock, protects the approach from inland. It’s the perfect location for a castle, which is why there has been one here since the twelfth century. SFX: GREGORIAN CHANTING St Andrews, then home to the most important cathedral in the country, was at the heart of Scottish religious life. For hundreds of years powerful bishops and archbishops called this Castle their home. Over time St Andrews Castle has been destroyed, rebuilt and renovated, so little of the original castle remains. Most of what you see today dates from between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. 3 SFX: SIXTEENTH CENTURY MUSIC Look above the archway at the far end of the wooden bridge.
