012 | [Situation] About 2 chains South East of the Cathedral of St Andrews. A square Tower at the eastern end of the Cathedral which is about 110 feet in height and is ascended to the top my means of a flight of stone steps, as to the date of its erection it cannot be properly ascertained, as the writings of different individuals concerning it will show, some ascribing to it one date and some another Strangers visiting St Andrews generally go to the top of the Tower in order to have a view of the Town and surrounding Country ~ The general opinion concerning the date of building of this Chapel and Tower appears to be that it as old as the days of St Regulus or Rule. This opinion is expressed by the intelligent in that neighbourhood, see also Lyon's History of St Andrews. In according with this general belief the explanatory phrase "14th Century - supposed" is written on plan - It is further to be noted that although the tower is properly part of the Church or Chapel but it being the principal object at present and most remarkable in the landscape and besides it is often spoken of and also in writing as the principal object it is therefore written on plan in the form above recommended. |
