James Gregory’s Meridian Line |
James Gregory (1638–75) was the first of a great dynasty of Scottish mathematicians and natural philosophers. He became Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews in 1668. In 1672 he mathematically established a meridian line, a line circling the earth from pole to pole along which the time is the same, passing through St Andrews. Currently all time in the world is calculated using a line passing through Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Noon on this line is known as 12.00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). As St Andrews is further west than Greenwich, the time at Gregory's meridian is 12 minutes behind GMT. To mark his meridian, Gregory carved it into the floor of his laboratory, now part of the King James Library at the University of St Andrews. In 2014 a brass meridian line and plaque were installed in the pavement of South Street outside the Library to commemorate Gregory's achievement. |

Gatty Marine Laboratory |
Gatty Marine Laboratory(which is also the home of Scottish Oceans Institute) was named after the zoologist Charles Henry Gatty, who paid for the original timber building with its permanent stone replacement in 1892. Though the stone building was officially opened in 1896, it was seriously burnt in 1913 and was no longer used until the end of WW2. In 1945, Gatty Marine Laboratory received an operating budget of £50(around £1,780 under the modern currency) to be used as a field station by zoologists and botanists based in the Bute Medical Building in the town center. In the following years, it has been led by Dr. James Munro Dodd, then Dr. Adrian Horridge, together with Prof. Michael Laverack.
With the richness of fauna and flora, Gatty Marine Laboratory is no doubt one of the best choices for research purposes. Ever since 1987, it has become part of the research institute that belongs to the School of Biology. All kinds of interdisciplinary researches have been carried out here: behavior, ecology, physiology, population biology, functional genomics of marine organisms, etc. A few years later, it received the highest number of research grants in marine biology of any UK department. By the late 1990s, its scale was expanded and the majority of the buildings became occupied by the Natural Environment Research Council.

Benjamin Franklin Plaque |
In 1759, during a visit to the city, the great American scientist and statesman Benjamin Franklin (1706–90) was awarded an Honorary Degree in Law from the University of St Andrews and was given the Freedom of the Burgh. At this time Franklin was resident in London as the representative of the Pennsylvania Assembly. The honorary degree was awarded to him in recognition of his work on electricity. In 1748 he had invented a new type of electric battery using sheets of glass sandwiched between lead plates. Hi most famous experiment was conducted in 1752, when he showed that lightening was electricity by flying a kite in a thunderstorm, by collecting some of the charge from the clouds in a battery connected to the kite. This was a very dangerous experiment, as Franklin could have been struck by lightning, although he was careful to stand on a sheet of material that did not conduct electricity to protect himself while flying the kite. In 2002 a plaque was unveiled on North Street to commemorate Franklin's visit to St Andrews. |

Robert Chambers's house |
Robert Chambers (1802–71) was the author of one of the most popular and controversial books of the 19th century, Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, published in 1844. In it Chambers presented his own theory of evolution, fifteen years before Darwin's Origin of Species(1859). His theory was different from Darwin's in important respects, but played an significant role in paving the way for the ready popular acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Chambers was a wealthy publisher, and, with his brother William, one of the founders of the famous Chambers publishing house in Edinburgh. The book was so controversial that it was published anonymously to protect the author's reputation, and Chambers came to St Andrews in 1841 with his family to write it in secret. The house where he wrote Vestiges has sadly since been demolished. but a house he had built and lived in during his retirement from 1863 until his death in 1871 can still be seen on the Scores. |

George Martine's house |
This house is where George Martine (the elder, as well as the younger) used to live in St Andrews.
George Martine the elder(1635-1712), was a historian of St Andrews. He was known for the diocesan history Reliquiæ divi Andreæ. In June 1688, he married Catherine and had several children, George Martine the younger (1700-1741), was one of them.
Martine the younger was a physician of St Andrews. He was educated at the University of St Andrews when he was thirteen. Later, he went to study medicine at the University of Edinburgh in 1720 and then went to the University of Leyden, where he graduated in 1725. He also made a huge contribution to natural philosophy by estimating the temperature of absolute zero to around -240° C. Unfortunately, he died of malarial fever when he was on the Caribbean Sea. |

Charles Lapworth |
Geologist Charles Lapworth taught English at Madras College, St Andrews. Although predominately self-taught in the field of geology, he made significant contributions to research regarding the Southern Uplands. He is mostly remembered for proposing the Ordovician epoch, a new classification of Lower Paleozoic rocks between the Cambrian and the Silurian periods. This term only gained international approval 40 years after his death. His various awards pay merit to his life and research, including the greatest scientific accolade of the Royal Society - the Gold Medal - in 1899. Furthermore, he is immortalised through the glacial Lake Lapworth in what is now western England, bearing his name in recognition of his suggestion of its existence. He left St Andrews in 1881 to become a professor of geology at the University of Birmingham. Lapworth combined his interests in space and the earth, claiming 'Astronomy is the oldest of the sciences, while Geology is one of the newest. But the two sciences have this in common: that to both are granted a magnificence of outlook'. |

Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson |
The 'charming and outstanding' Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson believed that all science and learning were one and the same, testified by his wide-ranging expertise as a scientist, naturalist, classicist, mathematician, scholar and philosopher. A year after graduating with a zoology degree from Trinity College, Cambridge, he became a professor of biology in Dundee. He held chair of natural history at the University of St Andrews for an unbeaten record of 64 years, teaching until he was 87 years old with a style described as 'inspirational and eccentric'. As a fellow, and then vice-president of the Royal Society of London, he was awarded the Darwin Medal. He was also an honorary member of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, president of both the Classical Association and the Royal Society of Edinburgh, received the Linnean Gold Medal from the Linnean Society and a knighthood, amongst a raft of other notable achievements. Although most famous as the author of 'On Growth and Form' (1917), he wrote over 300 works on many different subjects. As a founder member of the St Andrews Preservation Trust, he was acutely interested in this town's history, and would say: 'The stones cry out to us as we pass and tell us the story of our land'. |

David Brewster |
Scottish physicist, mathematician, astronomer, writer, historian of science and inventor of the kaleidoscope, David Brewster became a significant figure in Scottish higher education through becoming the principal of the University of St Andrews, and later the principal of the University of Edinburgh. Although he had qualified to become a minister of the Church of Scotland after obtaining a divinity degree from the University of Edinburgh, he chose instead to pursue his scientific passions. Dubbed the 'Father of modern experimental optics' by William Whewell, he was mostly concerned with the study of the polarization of light and the discovery of 'Brewster's angle'. He achieved success in improving the stereoscope and was instrumental in persuading the British to adopt the Fresnel lens for use in lighthouses. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1815, he also helped to form the British Association for the Advancement of Science and was knighted for his contribution to science in 1831. He published numerous notable works, including two biographies of Sir Isaac Newton, alongside being a regular contributor to the Edinburgh Magazine and editor for the Edinburgh Encyclopaedia from 1807. As a student, one young man from his native Roxburghshire described him as 'the only virtuous character he had met among young men'. He combined his loves of sciences and of religion, calling the former integral to the safeguarding of the latter, and said that: 'Man, made after God's image, was a nobler creation than twinkling sparks in the sky, or than the larger and more useful lamp of the moon'. |

Benjamin Franklin |
Founding father of the United States of America, Benjamin Franklin, was deeply interested in the world around him and excelled in numerous fields. He was many things in his lifetime: a printer, a postmaster, an ambassador, an author, a scientist, a philosopher, a writer, a statesman and, above all, an inventor. His contributions to the American Revolution and the building of a new nation were only one part of a highly distinguished career. He invented solutions to common problems, including a 'Long Arm' to grab books from the top shelf and swimming fins to help him swim more easily at 11 years old. He even made life a bit more musical with the invention of a glass harmonica. His most famous work was in the field of electricity, even inventing a new type of battery in 1748. The University of St Andrews awarded him 'gratis for his Writings on Electricity' an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1759, and the city of St Andrews granted him freedom of the burgh. Surprisingly, he made the journey to the town for this purpose, and later wrote 'I believe Scotland would be the country I should choose to spend the remainder of my days in'. Franklin valued academia highly, saying: 'If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest'. |

Robert Fitzroy |
Charles Darwin described Robert FitzRoy as a 'very extraordinary person', being 'everything that is delightful' and 'very scientific'. Vice-Admiral FitzRoy was an English officer of the Royal Navy and a scientist. He is most celebrated as the captain of the HMS Beagle during Darwin's famous voyage, a major cartographic expedition from 1831 to 1836. FitzRoy entered the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth at the age of 12, and joined the Royal Navy the following year. He became a lieutenant in 1824, passing the examination with full marks, the first to ever achieve such a result. He was a pioneering meteorologist who made daily weather predictions, which he referred to as his own term 'forecasts'. In 1854, he established what would later be called the Met Office, and founded systems to relay weather information to sailors and fishermen for their safety. He was a surveyor and a hydrographer, as well as Governor of New Zealand for a few years, where he tried to protect the Maori from illegal land sales claimed by British settlers. He died having exhausted his entire fortune (£6,000, worth £400,000 today) on public expenditure.Testaments to his life's work can be found throughout the British Isles, including an aneroid and a FitzRoy barometer with storm glass on the wall of 35 North Street, St Andrews. |

James David Forbes |
James David Forbes, principal at the University of St Andrews from 1859 to his death in 1868, studied the contradictory topics of heat and glaciers. Despite familial pressure to become a lawyer, Forbes (with David Brewster's encouragement) pursued a career in science, studying at the University of Edinburgh in the 1820s. While there, Forbes won many academic prizes and began writing articles on meteorology. He became a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Royal Society of London at only 21 years old. He invented the seismometer in 1842 and contributed papers to the 'Edinburgh Philosophical Journal' anonymously under the signature 'Δ'. He won several awards from his work, including the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 1838, and the Gold Medal in 1843. While he was principal of the University of St Andrews, he oversaw many projects such as the restoration of St Salvator's Chapel and the reorganisation of United College finances. Similarly, he made important reforms at the University of Edinburgh during his time there as professor of natural philosophy. Whilst engaging in various 'heated' scientific debates regarding his work with ice and glaciers, it was his study of heat which made the greatest contribution to science and had a resounding impact after his death. |

James Gregory |
The Scottish mathematician, astronomer, and first Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews, James Gregory, was one of the three inventors of calculus and the first to write a textbook concerning it (hence why calculus was taught at St Andrews a hundred years before it was on the curriculum at the University of Cambridge). He invented the Gregorian telescope which is still used today and discovered the principles of diffraction gratings. He worked to find the areas of the circle and hyperbola using a modification of the method of Archimedes (c.211BCE). Gregory was elected to the Royal Society of London before travelling to St Andrews and there starting his family. After a while, he moved to the University of Edinburgh. Most notably, Gregory is thought to have laid the very first meridian line, 200 years before the Greenwich meridian was established. This meridian runs several degrees west of the Greenwich meridian, making it around 12 minutes behind GMT. The brass meridian on South Street represents the line which Gregory initially carved into the floor of his laboratory (now King James' Library). |

John Mair |
Scottish Mathematician John Mair (sometimes Maoir) worked in both Paris and St Andrews teaching logic and theology. He studied at Cambridge (rare for a Scot at this time), where he spent around a year before furthering his studies in France. He contributed to a range of fields, including ethics, metaphysics, theology, biblical commentary, history and (above all) logic, at which he especially excelled. Furthermore, he did considerable work in legal human rights. His great intellectual drive is testified by the fact that he completed at least forty-six books within twenty years, despite struggling with a recurring illness. His reputation was founded upon the quality of his writings (many of which became textbooks for a large number of students in Paris and throughout Europe), as well as the quality of his teaching (being described by a student as a 'deeply knowledgeable man whose virtue is as great as his faith'). He was the principal of the University of Glasgow for five years, vicar of Dunlop (in Ayrshire) and a canon of the Chapel Royal in Stirling. He left Glasgow for the University of St Andrews, working as provost of St Salvator's College from 1534 and being the dean of the Faculty of Theology at the University. Although he complained about the town's bad beer, he did a lot of important work there: sitting on a committee to revise St Andrews forms of examination, doing administrative work, and lecturing in arts and theology. John Knox, his student who became the foremost leader of the Scottish Reformation, called Maoir a man 'whose word was held as an oracle on matters of religion', showing how respected he was. He is best known today for his 'History of Greater Britain, England and Scotland' (published 1521). Deeply interested in history, he wrote that it was necessary to study so that: 'You may learn not only the thing that was done but also how it ought to have been done'. |

David Brewster's House |
Symmetricity in reflections of light has an intrinsic attraction to human thinking. Which is why the Kaleidoscope is one of the most natural inventions we could use to introduce Sir David Brewster. A Scotsman, clergyman, philosopher, a historian and a prolific inventor; Sir Brewster showed particular interest in Optics and the polarisation of light; earning him the title of “The Father of experimental Optics” (Whewell, n.d.) from his peers. Brewster’s angle is one his most simple yet practical discoveries that lets us calculate the angle at which light must strike a substance for maximum polarization. It is a cornerstone in the development of modern fibre optics, lasers and material engineering. As a historian Sir Brewster developed an obsession with Sir Isaac Newton which led to him writing not one , but two separate biographies on Newton.First in 1831 he published the Life of Sir Isaac Newton. Then later in 1855 ,a much more more complete “Memoirs of the Life, Writings and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton”.

George Martine, the elder |
George Martine the elder, (1635-1712) was an historian of St Andrews, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Dr George Martine, who was the principal of St Salvator’s College, St Andrews. Martine (the younger) is remembered through his work ‘Reliquiae divi Andreae’, which is the first history of the archbishopric, published after his death and since proving valuable to many St Andrean historians. Martine was commissary clerk of St Andrews from 1660 to 1690, being excluded from the post for refusing to pledge an oath of loyalty to King William III and Queen Mary II. |

John Napier |
John Napier, the “Marvellous Merchiston” (as he was known in his day), was a Scottish landowner, mathematician, physicist, astronomer and discoverer of logarithms invented the so-called ‘Napier’s bones’, and made common the use of the decimal point. He was enrolled in St Salvator’s College, St Andrews at the age of 13, and it is suspected that he left Scotland to further his education in mainland Europe. He became interested in religion while in St Andrews, being particularly interested in the Book of Revelation and the Apocalypse. Napier was also often perceived as a magician, thought to have dabbled in necromancy and alchemy, and many tales were told of his superhuman powers. He is remembered through his namesakes, Edinburgh Napier University, the crater Neper on the moon, and the French name for the Natural Logarithm (Logarithme Népérien). David Hume described Napier as “the person to whom the title of a great man is more justly due than to any other whom his country ever produced”. |

Józef Kosacki |
Kosacki was an officer in the Polish Army in World War Two and is notably remembered as an engineer and inventor. He invented the first man-portable mine detector during his stay in St Andrews, with the Ardgowan Hotel as army headquarters and West Sands as a test site.
Prior to World War Two, he had been involved in the clandestine Special Signals Unit, a secret instate which worked on electronic appliances for the army.
As Kosacki had to leave his family in German-held Poland, his name was classified in order to protect them. Therefore, most of his patents were submitted under pseudonyms, including "Józef Kos", "Kozacki", and "Kozack". Although he didn't receive payment nor official recognition for his work, King George VI sen his a letter of gratitude.
Kosacki's designs for the mine detector have been used with various armies for over 50 years, and doubled the speed at which heavily mind sands could be cleared (from 100 to 200 metres per hour). Although he didn't receive payment or official recognition for his work, King George VI sent him a letter of gratitude. The mine detector had a profound had a profound impact, saving innumerable lives and limbs. |

Robert Adamson |
Robert Adamson was born in 1821 at Burnside, near St Andrews, and enjoyed an early education at Madras College. While in St Andrews, he was introduced to the calotype process by his brother, Dr John Adamson, and Sir David Brewster. Due to his fragile health, he did not become an engineer as he had originally planned, becoming a photographer instead. During his short life, Adamson established himself as a pioneer of early photography, best known for his collaboration with the painter David Octavius Hill. Hill was devastated when Adamson died, writing about the death of “my amiable & affectionate Robert Adamson”. |

Thomas Rodger |
Thomas Rodger (born 1832) was raised and educated in St Andrews. Originally studying chemistry at the University of St Andrews, he later turned to the art of photography. Although St Andrews was a major centre of photography at the time, Rodger was the first photographer in town with a professional studio. He is best known for his landscape images of the town and its surroundings, but his work with portrait photography was where he first rose to critical acclaim. Roger also wrote several theoretical works on various photographic techniques. He died in 1883 at the age of 50. |

Szabό opened his first studio in 1857 after moving to Edinburgh. He died shortly after in 1858. Despite the success he experienced during his lifetime, he remains almost entirely forgotten as a photographer. |

Lumsden moved to St Andrews in 1877, where she was recruited as headmistress for St Leonards School. In 1895, she returned to St Andrews as the first warden of University Hall – the only residential hall for female students in Scotland at the time. Her vision was based on her time at Girton College, and was met with much opposition. Lumsden also fought for women’s rights more generally, serving as president of the Aberdeen Suffrage Society in her retirement. |

Wallace Lindsay, a renowned Latinist and Classical scholar, was not your typical university professor. Though he certainly did not lack in scholarly achievements, he had a general dislike for traditional education and preferred to spend his time out in nature.
Lindsay's time working at the University of St Andrews was coloured by change. The University itself was undergoing many new reforms and he was teaching at the University in 1892 when women were first admitted as full-time student |

Sir James Donaldson |
Sir James Donaldson was a dedicated St Andrews principal, classical scholar, and political advocate. When he started working at the University, he was not very popular and many disliked his active involvement in liberal politics and Scottish nationalism. His popularity grew, however, as he masterly steered the University in a new direction at a time when it experienced great expansion and change. One such element of change was women's admission into the University in 1892. Donaldson was supportive of women's admission, something that later lead him towards the study of women in antiquity. |

North Point |
Best known as the café that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, frequented during their time as students at the University, Northpoint Café was established in 2001. At the time of Northpoint’s establishment, William and Kate were just beginning their time in St Andrews and over time, became regulars to the café, often getting cake and coffee after their lectures. As a result, rumour quickly spread that Northpoint was the location of this famed couple’s first date.
Accordingly, following the couple’s highly-publicized royal wedding in 2011, Northpoint saw a boom in tourism, with eager visitors flocking from around the world to see where the fairytale romance began. Today, Northpoint remains one of the most beloved cafes in St Andrews, amongst students and tourists alike. |

Willa Muir |
Willa Muir was particularly vocal in the emancipation and inclusion of women in University life. As a member of the Women Student’s Debating Society, she regularly expressed her progressive views on women’s role in society. She rose through the ranks of the society, becoming president in the 1910-1911 session. One of the motions carried in her year as chair was “a University training is desirable for women who are not going to take up a profession”.
Muir contributed significantly to student life in St Andrews. She wrote poems that were printed in the University newspaper, The College Echoes. The College Echoes acted “as a powerful organism of influence which both reflected and formed the opinions and the attitudes of the student body”. Later in her career, she held teaching jobs and lecturer positions in Classics. In conjunction with her husband, she wrote and translated extensively. She jointly translated the works of Franz Kafka into English and wrote her own novels about the lives of women at the time. These works are noted for being particularly progressive in their views as they challenged the traditional notions of domestic and societal roles. |

Victor Omololu Olunloyo is a Nigerian mathematician and politician, born in Ibadan, Nigeria in 1935. Olunloyo obtained his PhD in Mathematics from the University of St Andrews in 1961 with his thesis On the Numerical Determination of the Solutions of Eigenvalue Problems of the Sturm-Liouville Type. Upon returning to Nigeria, Olunloyo began his entry into politics. He was first appointed Commissioner for Economic Development of the Western Region and after holding various other governmental roles, became the chairman of the Western Nigerian Development Corporation. In 1983, Olunloyo ran for governor of Nigeria’s Oyo State, successfully defeating the incumbent and assuming office in October of that year. His term as governor was unfortunately cut short by a coup d’etat led by General Muhammadu Buhari that deposed the elected government just three months later.
Olunloyo’s attempts to re-enter politics in the early 2000s resulted in his leaving the People’s Democratic Party, joining its rival Action Congress of Nigeria, reformed as the All Progressives Congress, Nigeria’s current ruling party. |

St Andrews Cathedral |
Although now a mere shadow of its former self, this ruined Roman Catholic cathedral, located in St Andrews, Fife, was built in 1158 as the largest church ever to been constructed in Scotland during its time. Construction went on for over a century.
As the headquarters of the Scottish Medieval Catholic Church, the cathedral served as the seat of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and the Bishops and Archbishops of St Andrews. According to legend, St Regulus, also known as St Rule, is responsible for delivering St Andrew’s relics to this pocket of Scotland from Patras, Greece.
Operations continued as normal until 1559 when the Scottish Reformation resulted in the abolition of Catholic Mass, which then led to the ransacking of the cathedral. Eventually, the place was subjected to abandonment in 1561, causing it to fall into a derelict state of decay.
By the late 16th century, chunks of the leftover ruins were whisked away from the site following the collapse of the centre tower and the north wall. In 1826, the ruins finally received adequate attention. Today, St Andrews Cathedral is in the custody of Historic Scotland and open for endless exploration along with a museum.
For more information on the Cathedral, see here. |

West Port |
So'gait port (South Street), now called West Port, is one of few surviving town "Ports" in Scotland (the Lowland Scots word for a town gate) and is a scheduled monument. It was built by Thomas Robertson at around 1859 but was completely refurbished in 1843 by the Provost and Mr. John Grant of Kilgraston. Its design is based on that of the Netherbow in Edinburgh.
The West Port sits at the lower end of one of the towns’ three premier streets. The view from the west shows an impressive monumental quality while the view from the east forms a natural boundary to the town's historic core. It is still in use for passage, and thus preserves some of the aesthetic effect of an archway. The West Port remains a notable structure, contributing positively to the historic fabric of Scotland's oldest university town. |

Thomas Rodger's House & Studio |
Thomas Rodger (1832-1883) was the first professional photographer in St Andrews, famous for his portrayals of the town, its people, and visitors. He studied chemistry at Madras College and is thought to have been an exceptional student. Rodger gave up medicine for a career in photography having been persuaded by Dr John Adamson since Chemistry was closely linked to photography during that time.
He started as a ‘calotypist’ but would later move on to the Collodion Process in photography. By 1855, Rodger had become widely successful having won several awards and was exceptionally proficient in several methods. He considered himself more of an artist than a clever scientist who believed that as much as the science of photography had accomplished, there was yet a wider field open.
He was famous for his individual portraits and his pictorial record of the town, its people, the fisher folk and eminent visitors bought him great fame and Rodger made St Andrews the centre of world photography. |

St. Andrews Museum |
Founded in 1991 and located in the Kinburn House surrounded by Kinburn Park, the St. Andrews Museum houses around 100,000 objects held by Fife Council Museums. The museum currently displays only a fraction of these objects in its A-Z exhibition of St. Andrews history and culture at the ground floor gallery. In the first floor gallery, the museum holds temporary displays. Visitors can also enjoy a cup of tea at the café adjacent to Kinburn Park.
Kinburn House was designed by architect John Milne for Dr. David Buddo, a St. Andrews resident who retired from the Indian Medical Service. Dr. Buddo named the Victorian era house after the 1855 Battle of Kinburn in the Crimean War. In 1872, the Kinburn House became the home of the Provost of the burgh, John Patterson. In 1920, St. Andrews Town Council acquired the house and used it for various functions over the decades including as the Hay Flemming Library and a telephone exchange during WWII.

Preservation Trust Museum |
Located at 12 North Street, the St. Andrews Heritage Museum & Garden contains glimpses of life in St. Andrews across the centuries. Though the museum house dates from the 1600s, the site was first built on around 1140. The ground floor of the museum features tools and products from industries and shops in St. Andrews including a shop counter reconstructed to resemble Aikman and Terras (the local grocer’s from 1837-1981), a display on dentistry, and a replica chemist shop. On the first floor are temporary exhibitions on a wide range of topics relating to St. Andrews and the surrounding area. The gardens in back provide a quiet and beautiful space to enjoy. Please check the museum website for opening hours.
St. Andrews Heritage Museum & Garden is operated by the St. Andrews Preservation Trust, an organization founded in 1937 and dedicated to preserving the town’s architectural heritage and historic character. |

The Blue Stane is a relic of Pre-Christian Pictish St. Andrews when it had some now forgotten ritual significance. It is reputed to have been the coronation stone of Kenneth MacAlpine, who united the Kingdom of the Scots and the Picts in 843 A.D.
The Stane is shown on the John Geddy map of St. Andrews (1580), at which time it stood on the south side of what is now Double Dykes Road. It later stood at the City Road crossroads and was moved here in Victorian times. It may have also once stood by the West Port.
Geologically, the Stane is made of Dolerite (or Whinstone), an iron and magnesium-rich igneous rock found on Drumcarrow Craig. It was probably plucked by glaciers which covered Fife during the last ice age and was then dropped nearby as a glacial erratic when the ice retreated about 14000 years ago. |

Orrery |
This orrery, a model which shows how planets revolve around the sun, is on display at the School of Physics and Astronomy. It was built by Benjamin Cole of London between 1748 and 1760. The four inner most planets are mounted on plates and connected to a mechanism which allows them to rotate about the sun at their correct rates. Jupiter and Saturn are attached to arms extending outside the main structure which allow them to rotate freely. The base of the orrery has 12 windows instead of wooden panes so that the interior mechanism to be viewed. Twelve beams support a ring which encircles the inner planets and is engraved with the signs of the Zodiac and the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The ring serves as the base for a model of part of the celestial sphere. The elevated and angled rings forming the ‘dome’ represent the ‘Artic’ Circle, the Tropic of Cancer, and the Equator. |

Ardgowan Hotel |
Ardgowan Hotel served as an accommodation to many soldiers during World War II, including Józef Kozacki, a portable mine detector inventor.
Kozacki was a signals officer of the First Polish Army which stationed in St. Andrews. After a mine explosion on the beach in Arboath killed two Polish soldiers, Kosacki was determined to use his experience and engineering education to prevent such accidents in the future. By exploiting the radiowaves and objects interactions to detect metal objects underground, he created prototype of a mine detector that successfully detected metal objects as small as coins previously scattered around West Sands.
The portable mine detector was used in combat for the first time in 1942 and since then around five hundred detectors were issued to the army as they doubled the speed at which mined sands could be cleared, accelerating the speed from 100 to 200 meters an hour. Kosacki has never patented his invention, instead he handed it to the British army free of charge for which he received a congratulations letter from King George VI. |

Lade Braes Walk |
The 1.5 miles long walk runs from Little Carron to Madras College and follows a route of an old mill, bringing water to the Priory of St Andrews founded in 1140. For most of its life, it was open to St Andrews citizens who used it for cleaning, washing and possibly drinking. Although majority of the lade is now underground, it was all uncovered until 1800s when it was partially covered during Madras College construction. The upper Lade Braes also had trees planted at the end of 1800s by John McIntosh and John Milne.
The lade, which is an artificial channel constructed to carry a current of water to drive mills’ wheels, was used by numerous mills which belonged to the Priory of St Andrews:
• Craig Mill, the oldest in St Andrews and demolished by 1776;
• Shore Mill and Abbey Mill at the St Andrews Harbour;
• New Mill and Plash Mill between Maynard road and Hepburn Gardens;
• Law Mill at the Duck Pond at Lawmill Gardens;
• Denbrae Mills outside St Andrews.

St Andrews to Leuchars Railway |
The St Andrews to Leuchars Railway was an independent railway built in 1852 by Sir Thomas Bouch. Railway engineering is a multi-faceted engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and operation of all types of rail transport systems. Sir Thomas Bouch designed the railway rather cheaply, which caused issues: the sleepers of the rail-line were set up four feet apart, which is wider spacing than usual. The poor craftsmanship caused a train to derail — this was the start of the end of the railway. In 1969, the railway was finally closed due to the decrease in popularity. The end of the old railway is now the bus centre in St Andrews! |

David Brewster's House |
David Brewster's House, Principal of St Andrews 1837-1859. Best known as the inventor of the kaleidoscope and an early developer of photography, Brewster (1781-1868) made major contributions to the field of optics, including the connection between refractive index and polarising angle, biaxial crystals, and the production of double refraction by irregular heating. He described the dioptric lens system, generally attributed to Fresnel, in 1812, and was largely responsible in getting it adopted by British lighthouses. His house, was subsequently occupied by the mineralogist M. Forster Heddle (1828-1897), and is now part of St Leonard's School. |

St Andrews Cathedral (Abolished) |
Although now a mere shadow of its former self, this ruined Roman Catholic cathedral, located in St Andrews, Fife, was built in 1158 as the largest church ever to been constructed in Scotland during its time. Construction went on for over a century.
As the headquarters of the Scottish Medieval Catholic Church, the cathedral served as the seat of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and the Bishops and Archbishops of St Andrews. According to legend, St Regulus, also known as St Rule, is responsible for delivering St Andrew’s relics to this pocket of Scotland from Patras, Greece.
Operations continued as normal until 1559 when the Scottish Reformation resulted in the abolition of Catholic Mass, which then led to the ransacking of the cathedral. Eventually, the place was subjected to abandonment in 1561, causing it to fall into a derelict state of decay.
By the late 16th century, chunks of the leftover ruins were whisked away from the site following the collapse of the centre tower and the north wall. In 1826, the ruins finally received adequate attention. Today, St Andrews Cathedral is in the custody of Historic Scotland and open for endless exploration along with a museum.

Blackfriars Chapel |
The so-called Blackfriars refers to the Dominican friars because of the black cappa/cloak they wear over their white habits.
Back in 1464, a Dominican Friary was established here with initially only two friars. In 1514, William Elphinstone left the Dominicans his bequest to build a new friary and maintain three extra friars. In 1525, this Blackfriars Chapel was built as an addition to the church. As there was no enough space on the friary site, the chapel was located next to the street.
Regrettably, the protestant reformers violently expelled the friars and destroyed the Blackfriars Chapel in 1559, leaving only the ruins ever since then. |

St Andrews Botanic Gardens |
St Andrews Botanic Gardens, founded in 1889, is the third oldest botanic garden in Scotland. Originally built at St. Mary’s College by University of St Andrews, the gardens moved to the current site in 1962. The present Botanic Garden is an 18-acre site that contains over 8000 species of both native and exotic plants. It also includes beautiful places such as a rock garden and has accommodated local wildlife such as red squirrels.
The principal founder, John Hardie Wilson (1858-1920), was an eminent botanist who specialised in disease-resistant varieties of crops and fruits, especially potatoes. His potato varieties remained influential long after his death. He received many honours for his contribution to Botany and Horticulture, including being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1891. It was alleged that it was his work of maintaining the Botanic Gardens during WW1, largely single-handedly, that contributed to his death.

A blue plaque on site, in memory of Dr John Adamson and his contribution to photography and public health, marks his life here from 1848 to 1865. This house became the main post office of St Andrews from 1907, and in 2012 was renovated into a local restaurant: The Adamson, named after him.
Dr John Adamson (1809-1870), educated at the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh, was a physician and a pioneer to early photography. Through his close friend Sir David Brewster, he became heavily involved with studying the calotype, an early photographic process introduced by William Henry Fox Talbot. He made significant contribution by managing to “control a process that remained remarkably difficult” and was credited with taking the first calotype portrait in Scotland in 1840-1842. He also educated his younger brother Robert Adamson about the calotype technique, who later became a pioneering photographer.

Harbour and Pier |
The history of St Andrews Harbour and Pier starts from the 14th century and is inseparably linked with the coastal town it serves. At first, it was nothing more than the unimproved shores of the Kinness Burn without any built harbour-works. During medieval times and through to the 16th century, the harbour witnessed a significant development with the construction of an extensive pier, bulwark to seaward and quays to accommodate shipping and serve merchants and many tourists at the time, whilst the town was developing as an influential academic, ecclesiastical and trading centre. Later with further development, the harbour has become home to a small, yet growing flotilla of pleasure craft and a small fishing fleet that in its heyday comprised over 50 vessels. The Harbour and Pier is in all aspects an exemplification of the vernacular tradition in Scottish harbour works. As one of the most iconic sites of St Andrews, student traditions of the University such as the Gaudie and Pier Walk take place at the pier annually.

St Andrews Castle |
This castle was the official residence of the bishop throughout the Middle Ages. This castle has a long and vast history. The castle was targeted during both the Wars of Independence with England and due to religious tension between the Protestants and Catholics. A plaque about some of the more gruelling history of the castle is shown in the photos below.
Due to the outlaw of Catholicism in 1560, the castle failed to have a purpose, became abandoned and descended into ruins. Now the castle is owned by Historic Environment Scotland. You can still visit the castle and be immersed in a guided walking tour. Visiting times for this are from 10am - 4pm daily however times may vary depending on the season. |

The Martyrs' Kirk |
Martyrs’ Kirk stands on the site of what was originally Martyrs’ Free Kirk. Built in 1844, the original building was demolished in order to build a bigger church that met the demands of its congregation. This structure, which remains standing to this day, was built between 1925 and 1928 by Gillespie and Scott. However, in 2008 the church was closed and in 2010 the congregation merged with Hope Park Church. The University of St Andrews then acquired the building in 2012 and, after extensive refurbishment, it now serves as a post-graduate study space as well as housing around 5000 volumes of the University’s Special Collections, many of which hold mathematical significance.

St Salvator’s College and Chapel |
St Salvator’s College and Chapel were founded by Bishop James Kennedy in 1450 and the college was originally founded with both a missionary and an educational function. The Chapel was built in a late gothic architecture style with the main entrance facing out into the street so as to also serve the wider community. Amongst the many provosts of St Salvator’s College, the mathematician and theologian John Maior (Mair) is of particular note, having held the post from 1534 until his death in 1550. Maior made important contributions to the study of infinity and logic. One of his most important works is his 1506 treatise Propositum de Infinito in which he explores the possibility of infinity existing in the physical world. In 1563 John Napier (famous for his discovery of logarithms and invention of Napier’s bones amongst other things) matriculated as a student and lived in St Salvator’s College, looked after personally by the principal John Rutherford. However there is no record of him ever graduating the university.

Harbour Barometer |
The Harbour barometer, which can be found in the wall of 35 North Street, contains an aneroid and a Fitzroy barometer with storm glass, but is missing its thermometer. It was installed after Admiral Robert Fitzroy (acting as the first head of the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade) instigated and oversaw the distribution of dozens of barometers to fishing ports around the British Isles following violent storms in 1859, to enable weather predictions before fleets set out to try and help ensure their safety. Storm barometers were glass tubes filled with liquid that would crystallise in different patterns, and one accompanied Fitzroy on the HMS Beagle, on which Fitzroy was Charles Darwin’s commanding officer.

Bell Rock Lighthouse |
By the cliffside gate of the Cathedral, there are two stone sights embedded in the wall, with the western one pointing to the Bell Rock Lighthouse. Depending on the weather conditions, the lighthouse may be visible as a small white dot on the horizon. The Bell Rock lighthouse is the world’s oldest working sea-washed lighthouse (built out at sea, often on a rock or reef) and was built from 1807 – 1811 by Robert Stevenson and John Rennie. The Bell Rock, also known as the Inchcape Rock, is a treacherous sunken reef that was one of the chief impediments to the free navigation of that coast and is the subject of a poem named Inchcape Rock by Robert Southey, which tells a story about the consequences of ‘Sir Ralph the Rover’ removing a warning bell from the rock.

Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's House |
Sir D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson II (1860 – 1948) was a zoologist considered by some as the "father of mathematical biology". He was born in Edinburgh on May 2, 1860 and died on June 21, 1948 at his house in St Andrews. His professorship at the University College of Dundee, and then at St Andrews holds the record for the longest tenure of any academic (64 yrs.) and is unlikely to be broken due to modern employment legislation.
Most consider Thompson’s greatest work to be On Growth and Form, a book in which he explores in great detail the mathematical patterns that can be found in nature. His use of Cartesian grid transformations in modelling evolutionary processes is still an area of modern research. Thompson’s influence has been wide-reaching: from inspiring the likes of Alan Turing’s morphology research to playing a key role in the development of 3D animation.

St Mary's College |
While this site is arguably the oldest owned by the University (granted in 1419), the incarnation of St Mary’s College as it is known today was founded by Archbishop James Beaton between 1537 and 1539. Although St Mary’s College was streamlined specifically for the study of Theology since 1579, it has also been home to a rich history in Mathematics.
Mathematician and astronomer James Gregory (1638-1675) used the upper hall of the University library (King James Library) near St Mary’s as an observatory. There, he also developed one of the earliest and most accurate meridian lines nearly 200 years prior to the Greenwich Meridian’s establishment. Gregory also designed the first practical reflecting telescope.
The College has also housed theology students who were distinguished in Mathematics. These include former Regius Professor of Mathematics Robert Haldane (1772 – 1854) and John Playfair (1748 – 1819), known for his work in geology and Euclidean geometry.

J&G Innes ("The Citizen Shop") (Abolished) |
J&G Innes (a.k.a. “The Citizen Shop”) is a bookshop in St Andrews with a rich history spanning over 3 centuries. It was bought by the Innes firm in 1927 after John Innes, founder of the St Andrews Citizen newspaper, purchased the printing and publishing business of the Tullis family in 1879. The Tullis family also had deep ties with the University having, among many other things, made donations to Mathematics prizes.
Prior to its purchase, the building once housed Baillie Bell, co-worker of Alexander Wilson (one of the first type-founders in Scotland, and recognized in astronomy for his observatory work on sunspots) and John Baine (credited by some to have owned the Philadelphia type-foundry in which the dollar-sign [$] was first cast in the 1790’s).
This bookshop was the first in Scotland to use a printing process involving amalgams of noble metals – the newest printing innovation of the early 1900's.

Plaque at the Castle:
George Wishart, 1513-1546.
A powerful protestant preacher, he was betrayed to Cardinal Beaton. Brought here, put in the sea tower, condemned for heresy and burnt at the stake on 1 March. The lettering G W on the roadway marks where he dies. His friends conspired against the cardinal, and on 26 May gained entry to the castle, killed him and hung his body from the battlements. Then together in the castle they created the first congregation fo the protestant church in Scotland. |

The Museums of the University of St Andrews |
The Museums of the University of St Andrews consist of two museums and a Collections Centre. The Wardlaw Museum houses most of the university’s collection, with displays focusing both on the history of the university itself, as well as the research and inventions it has produced. The Bell Pettigrew Museum is specialised on natural history with displays predominantly consisting of taxidermy, fossils, and skeletons. Across these museums, the university owns and displays an impressive 115, 000 artefacts and specimens . The museums include multiple artefacts of mathematical relevance, such as a set of Napier’s bones, geometry models used historically by students at the university, and, most famously, the Great Astrolabe created by Humphrey Cole and likely obtained for the university by the mathematician James Gregory.
For more information on the museums, see here. |

Gregory's Pillar |
Around 1670, the Regius Professor of Mathematics at St Andrews, James Gregory, had this pillar erected on a hill about a mile south of the University library. There he had his telescope and a very early example of a pendulum clock. He lined his telescope up with the pillar and in 1674 he cooperated with colleagues in Paris to make simultaneous observations of an eclipse of the moon and was able to work out the longitude for the first time.

J&G Innes (The Citizen Shop) |
J&G Innes (a.k.a. “The Citizen Shop”) is a bookshop in St Andrews with a rich history spanning over 3 centuries. It was bought by the Innes firm in 1927 after John Innes, founder of the St Andrews Citizen newspaper, purchased the printing and publishing business of the Tullis family in 1879. The Tullis family also had deep ties with the University having, among many other things, made donations to Mathematics prizes.
Prior to its purchase, the building once housed Baillie Bell, co-worker of Alexander Wilson (one of the first type-founders in Scotland, and recognized in astronomy for his observatory work on sunspots) and John Baine (credited by some to have owned the Philadelphia type-foundry in which the dollar-sign [$] was first cast in the 1790’s).
This bookshop was the first in Scotland to use a printing process involving amalgams of noble metals – the newest printing innovation of the early 1900's.

Katharine Whitehorn (Whitehorn Hall) |
Katherine Whitehorn, CBE, was a renowned journalist and author. In 1982, she was elected as rector of the University of St Andrews – the first female to hold this role in any Scottish university. The University opened Whitehorn Hall as an all female wing to University Hall in 2018 as part of an effort to honour inspiring female figures in the University. Whitehorn was the first woman to have a column in The Observer and was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2014 for her services to journalism. |

St Mary’s Quad |
In 1538, Archbishop James Beaton decided to create a new collegiate foundation – the College of St Mary, with the avowed aims of fighting heresy, encouraging divine worship, and offering prayers for the soul of James IV and his heirs.
There were two occasions of crucial importance to Mary Queen of Scots which occurred when she was staying in St Andrews – she learned of the assassination of her favourite uncle, Francis Duke of Guise, in 1563. According to legend, it was in that year that she planted a hawthorn tree (now known as Queen Mary’s Hawthorn) in the Quadrangle at St Mary’s College, perhaps in memory of her late uncle. Secondly, she took the decision to marry for the second time when in St Andrews. In 1565, she set her sights upon Henry, Lord Darnley, a decision which would ultimately lead to her untimely downfall.
It was when Mary was in childbirth with her son Prince James that she wrote her will, in which she wrote that her deluxe collection of Greek and Latin books were to be given to the University of St Andrews ‘to found a library’. Many of Mary’s books were ransacked after her forced abdication; however, the University finally obtained some books when her son, James VI, by then James I of England, donated them almost half a century later.

Sergeant John Ripley VC (Crail’s Lane) |
Sergeant John Ripley (“Jock”) VC was born in August 1867 in Keith. After completing a roof slater apprenticeship, he moved to St Andrews. It was in St Andrews where John met Jane Laing. They married in 1895 and had a son, Alexander Laing Ripley, in 1896.
Ripley took part in the Battle of Aubers Ridge, France on the 9th of May 1915. This battle was a disaster failure for the British, with 11,000 casualties sustained in a single day. The British commanders had planned to prepare the way for the oncoming troops by launching an intense artillery bombardment. However, there were not enough guns and the ones that were available were outdated and inaccurate. The bombardment failed to destroy the German defences, and the onrushing soldiers were easy targets. It was during this battle that John won the Victoria Cross, the highest British military honour.
A head injury sustained during this battle prevented John from returning to active service, however he continued in his role as a recruiting sergeant until he was demobilised in 1919. After this, he returned to his former civilian life as a slater and volunteer fireman.
Today, a plaque can be found on the ground at Crail's Lane. |

St Andrews Castle |
The construction of St Andrews castle took place between 1189 and 1202. Its strategic importance became clear during the Wars of Scottish Independence where it was repeatedly taken and retaken by the English and Scottish.
Following the founding of the university in 1413, the town became a new centre for intellectuals. During this time, St Andrews saw many debates and legal trials as the power of the Catholic Church began to dwindle. The castle, as home to the Bishop, was a target for debate and became a prison for those convicted of heresy.
During the 16th Century, the castle was the location for many key events, in particular, the Scottish Reformation. Military strategies were developed in the form of Archbishop James Beaton’s gun towers (1521-1539) to strengthen defenses as tensions heightened. These were put to use by his nephew Cardinal David Beaton (1539-1546) as he argued against relations with Protestant England. Consequently, many intellectual, Protestant preachers were unhappy and spoke out against him. This led to a group of Protestant nobles occupying the castle and murdering Cardinal Beaton. Regent Arran led a siege in response which caused extensive damage. |

St Andrews War Memorial |
The St Andrews War Memorial is located to the West of St Andrews cathedral. It was unveiled on the 23rd of September 1922, and it commemorates fallen servicemen and civilians who died during the first and second world wars. There are 287 names inscribed upon it.
It cost £2,300 when it was built, and it consists of a sandstone plinth and granite shaft, with a Celtic cross atop the shaft. A Sword of Sacrifice is imprinted on the shaft itself. It is surrounded by bronze a wall with bronze panels where the names of the fallen are inscribed. Another bronze panel is situated at the bottom of the stone base and bears an inscription of remembrance.
The memorial was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer, a famed Scottish architect. He designed the Scottish National War Memorial, located in the grounds of Edinburgh Castle, and he was also responsible for the designs of countless smaller memorials across the world. He was knighted by King George V in 1911. |

Lieutenant Józef Stainisław Kosacki (West Sands) |
In September 1941 the British Army launched a competition to develop a landmine detector. Hearing of this competition, and of a fatal accident on a beach in nearby Arbroath where a Polish Army patrol was killed by a landmine, Kosacki set out to design such a detector.
Kosacki used his previous experience designing a device capable of detecting unexploded ordnance to help him in his challenge. He and his assistant produced prototypes, which they tested on West Sands. Only 3 months after he started, Kosacki’s design was submitted to the British Army for consideration. The design weighed only 14kg and was operated by a single person; it triumphed in the competition, beating six other British designs. The device was used extensively throughout the rest of the war and saved countless lives.

Martyrs' Monument |
Martyrs’ Monument was built to commemorate four protestants who were executed during the 16th Century. These were Patrick Hamilton, Henry Forrest, George Wishart, and Walter Mill.
Patrick Hamilton was executed in 1528 outside St Salvator's Chapel for sharing the teachings of Martin Luther, a German Priest who was a pioneer in the Protestant Reformation.
Henry Forrest was executed in approximately 1533 for owning a copy of the New Testament in English, as well as believing that Hamilton died a martyr and saying that his protestant teachings were true.
The third martyr, George Wishart, was executed in 1546 due to his teachings across Scotland that criticised Catholicism.
The last martyr commemorated at the monument is Walter Mill, who believed that Catholic clergy should be able to get married. He was subsequently executed outside Dean's Court in 1558 for these viewpoints.

Lieutenant Józef Stainisław Kosacki |
Lieutenant Józef Stainisław Kosacki was born on April 21st 1909 in Poland and in 1933 graduated from the Warsaw University of Technology with a degree in Electrical Engineering.
Shortly before the invasion of Poland in September 1939 by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, he enlisted in the army. He became an officer in the Special Signals Corps, a unit that developed electronic appliances for the military. After the fall of Poland, Kosacki was interned in Hungary, but escaped in December 1939 and made his way to Paris. Here, he was reunited with remnants of the Polish Army, but along with these forces was forced to flee to the UK after the fall of France in June 1940. |

General Władysław Sikorski (Kinburn Park) |
General Władysław Sikorski was the Polish prime minister in exile and commander-in-chief of its armed forces during WW2.
Sikorski led the reorganisation of Polish forces after the fall of France and oversaw the construction of costal defences along Scotland’s east coast. He was greatly fond of the town and the University, receiving an honorary degree from the institution and gifting it a collection of rare historic Polish coins. He died in mysterious circumstances after a plane crash off Gibraltar in 1943, and has a stone statue at Kinburn Park in St Andrews. |

Robert FitzRoy |
Vice-Admiral Robert Fitzroy was born on the 5th of July 1805 near Bury St Edmunds, South-East England. FitzRoy joined the Royal Naval Academy at 12 years old and commissioned as an officer a year later. In 1826, he was appointed meteorologist aboard the survey vessel HMS Beagle, exploring the coasts of southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, an archipelago at the tip southernmost of South America.
FitzRoy was put in command of the Beagle’s second voyage, charting South America and the Galapagos islands. He was accompanied on this 5-year expedition by Charles Darwin, and during this time Darwin would begin to develop his theory of evolution.
After his retirement from the Navy and his election to the Royal Society, FitzRoy was appointed as head of what today we know as the Meteorological Office.
He compiled shipping forecasts by having live weather data telegraphed to him from ports and ships around the country. Key to this was the nationwide issuing of barometers, which are devices used to measure air pressure. An example of a FitzRoy barometer is in St Andrews.

Old Course |
Due to the Old Course having a large, flat, coastal location, it was an attractive staging ground for an airborne assault. To counter against this, mounds and trenches were dug along the fairways to prevent planes and gliders from landing safely. However, these new ‘cross-hazards’ were strategically positioned to allow for the continued play of golf (The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews had friends in high places).

Sphagnum Moss |
Sphagnum moss is the collective term for numerous different species of peat moss which carpet marches, heaths, and moors around the world. Sphagnum moss has been used for at least 1,000 years to help heal wounds, although it was during the First World War that scientists began to fully understand its medical potential.
St Andrews processed large quantities of Sphagnum moss. The moss grew on moors near Mount Melville, and the Boy Scouts collected and delivered the moss to households in the town to be dried. The semi-dried moss was them passed on to a body of nearly 100 volunteer “pickers”, who would remove any unwanted vegetation and prepare the moss to become a medical dressing. These “pickers” were mostly women, and they initially operated out of the War Hospital Supply Depot. The Depot was formed in 1915 by a Mrs Gilbert Wilson and was based in her home, however that soon became impractical. Eventually, the University lent Upper College Hall to the Depot to produce Sphagnum dressings, while the depot also had a branch at St Leonards School.

Sir Robert Watson-Watt |
Sir Robert Watson-Watt was a Scottish engineer and the inventor of radar. His work led to the survival of the RAF during the Battle of Britain and to eventual German defeat.
Born in Brechin, Angus, in 1892, Watson-Watt studied for a degree in engineering from University College, Dundee, then part of the University of St Andrews. After graduation, he went to work for the Meteorological Office, and in 1935 began the development of what today we refer to as radar. He successfully demonstrated its effectiveness in detecting aircraft, and soon a network of radar stations dotted the UK coastline. His invention may have been the deciding factor in Britain surviving the German onslaught by air during the Battle of Britain in 1940.

Gregory's Pillar |
This is the pillar named after James Gregory, installed around 1670. James Gregory was a scottish astronomer, mathematician and Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews. Gregory's contribution in his field is astonishing. For Astronomy, he developed a telescope which uses the properties of mirrors instead of lenses, and he pioneered the photometric method for calculating the distance to the stars, formalised later by Newton. For Mathematics, he seems to have developed calculus methods and the bionomial theorem way before Newton and Leibniz did. In addition, he had deduced several trigonometric series using the method that is now known as Taylor Series. |

David Brewster (11 December 1781 – 10 February 1868) was a British scientist and inventor. While he was in St Andrews, he contributed a lot to the field of photography. One of his most important achievements was the development of the “lenticular stereoscope”, with which someone could practically experience a photograph in 3D. The user could see two identical images through two different lenses and thus got the illusion of a 3D space. |

John Napier (1550 - 1617 ) was a Scottish mathematician, physicist and astronomer. In the age of 13, he begun his studies at the Saint Salvator's college of the University of St Andrews. He contributed a lot to Mathematics, by developing the concept of logarithms, a very useful tool for modern Applied Mathematics, and by inventing a calculating device, called Napier's bones. Moreover, in 1616 his book Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio was published, which included his theorems for Spherical Geometry, called Napier's Rules of Circular Parts. Napier is also famous for establishing the use of the dot (.) to distinct the integer from the decimal part of decimal numbers. |

Elizabeth Garrett |
Elizabeth Garrett was a physician born on June 9th 1836 in Whitechapel, London. During the mid 1850’s, she became quite involved with the Langham Place circle, a group of middle class women associated with the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women, placing her at the core of the emerging mid-Victorian women’s movement.
Garrett overcame initial disapproval by her father to obtain a medical education, although she faced a raft of difficulties along the way. In 1862, she became the first woman to matriculate at the University of St Andrews, with the support of some of the medical professors and Vice Chancellor John Tulloch of St Mary’s. However, the senatus prohibited her entrance to the university. However, she persisted in her goal to become a doctor, and eventually passed the exams from the Society of Apothecaries, becoming the first woman in Britain qualified by this organisation.

Following this, she joined the staff at the Dundee Royal Infirmary, eventually becoming head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 1936. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this appointment displeased at least one male colleague. She then fought for 4 years to become a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, eventually winning her battle in 1940 to become Scotland’s first female professor. She remained the only female professor until her retirement in 1956.
Fairlie developed a keen interest in the clinical use of radium, after visiting the Marie Curie Foundation in 1926. She became a pioneer of the use of radium for medical purposes in Scotland, where she employed it in the treatment of malignant gynaecological diseases. She was also heavily involved in the development of vaginal smear cytology for cancer diagnosis.

She became the first female graduate in 1895, where she compressed her studies by taking subjects concurrently, which allowed her to graduate ahead of her cohort. She then went on to receive her medical degree in 1901 in Glasgow. She gained prominence by becoming a consultant dermatologist in London, where she was one of the first women to be appointed consultant in a hospital not exclusively for women. She also worked as a radiographer in the Scottish Women’s Hospital during WWI, where she pioneered the use of X Ray technology to detect and manage the effects of gas gangrene.
One of the more interesting studies she was involved in was when she conducted an inquiry into the inhumane treatment of female suffragists who were going through hunger strikes whilst in prison. Along with 3 distinguished doctors, she published medical papers on this subject.
A student poll that was part of the University of St Andrews 600th centenary celebrations revealed Dr. Blackadder to be the most popular choice in renaming a new hall of residence. Subsequently, Agnes Blackadder Hall was named after her when it was renamed in 2012.

Louisa Lumsden was a Scottish pioneer of female education born on December 31st 1849 in Aberdeen. She was one of the first students in Girton College, Cambridge, and was the leader of the ‘Girton Five’ or ‘Girton Pioneers’. She was the founding headmistress of St Leonards School in St Andrews, which was the first school for girls in Scotland modelled after English public schools. She was extremely enthusiastic at the location of the school, which she thought provided an opportunity to attend a first-rate school without having to travel to England.
Lumsden returned to St Andrews in 1895 as founder and first warden of University Hall, the first purpose-built hall of residence for women in Scotland. She had a vision of a ‘Scottish Girton’ which reflected her time at Cambridge, where a woman would have a better chance of meeting her full potential in university by residing with other students who had the same goals of ‘self development’ However, her idea was met with fierce opposition, particularly from the likes of the principal of the university.
She eventually resigned 1900 after numerous conflicts with the university committee. Lumsden was eventually awarded with an LLD by the University of St Andrews in 1911, which she interpreted as amends for the way the university had treated her in the past. She was also made a Dame of the British Empire for her services to education in 1925.

Sue Innes was a journalist, writer, teacher and feminist campaigner born on May 4th 1948 in Dorset. In 1970, she enrolled at the University of St Andrews studying English and Philosophy. She became the editor of the student newspaper Aien within 18 months of joining the university, as well as working as a columnist for Scotland on Sunday covering a range of subjects related to women’s affairs. She was also a large part of the women’s liberation group at the University of St Andrews, who were innovative campaigners.
One of the events they did involved congregating on market street, and when any man passed by they were “...stared at silently by twelve pairs of eyes, others were treated to wolf whistles, catcalls and comments on their clothes and anatomy. They were chatted up and put down. They reacted with embarrassment, anger, unease, disgust and made detours to avoid us.” This action was designed to highlight the sexist treatment women had to endure on a regular basis. This campaign gained national attention, and Sue Innes was interviewed by the BBC as a result of this.
After leaving St Andrews, she became a writer focussing on the female social and political history in Scotland. She also taught at the University of Glasgow and became a research fellow at the University of Edinburgh, as well as working as an official reporter in the Scottish Parliament.

Frances Helen Melville was a promoter of higher education for women in Scotland and suffragist, born on October 11th 1873. She became one of the first women to matriculate at the University of Edinburgh in 1892, after the Universities (Scotland) Act of 1889 was passed, permitting women to matriculate and graduate from the Scottish universities. She graduated with first class honours in a M.A degree in philosophy in 1897.
During her time at Edinburgh University, she was president of the Women’s Representative Committee, at a time when the university lacked a female voice. In 1900, she was appointed warden of University Hall at the University of St Andrews succeeding Louisa Lumsden.
During her time at St Andrews, she obtained a degree in the bachelor of divinity, which was awarded to her in 1910. This gave her the distinction of becoming the first woman to receive this degree at a Scottish university. She was also responsible for setting up the St Andrews Association of University Women in 1909.
Following her work in St Andrews, she was appointed mistress of Queen Margaret College at Glasgow University. During her time here, the university oversaw a gradual integration of female students into mixed university classes, rather than receiving their education separate from male students. She received her LLD from Glasgow University in 1927, becoming the first Scottish female graduate to receive this distinction. |

Katherine Whitehorn was a British journalist and columnist born on March 2nd 1928. She graduated from Newham College in Cambridge, where she worked as a columnist for the Observer from 1960 to 1996. She became known for her wit, humour and observance of the lives of women. She was elected unopposed by students at the University of St Andrews in 1982 to become the first woman to be elected Rector of a Scottish University, as well as St Andrews’ first female Lord Rector.
She held this position for 3 years, stepping down in 1985. Her pioneering role in the history of the University of St Andrews is reflected by the university naming a new hall of residence after her, when Whitehorn Hall opened its doors in 2018.

Irvine Building |
Sir James Colquhoun Irvine was born on May 9th 1877 in Glasgow. At 18 years old, he matriculated and attended the University of St Andrews. While he was there, he worked under Professor Thomas Purdie; himself a notable Scottish chemist who is widely credited with founding the School of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews.
Sir James Irvine was notably the Principal of St Andrews for over three decades – from 1920 to 1952. During his tenure as president, he oversaw an extensive modernisation of the university, earning him the moniker “St Andrews’ Second Founder”.
In his early days as principal, the University of St Andrews was suffering from a noticeable lack of suitable buildings and equipment designed for the pursuit of scientific inquiry. Not to mention the relatively small number of students and precarious financial position. It is down to Irvine’s dedication to St Andrews and his hard work that the university is where it is today.

Jack Cole Building |
Alfred Jack Cole was a Computer Scientist and Mathematician born in 1925. He is credited as one of the main drivers behind the establishment of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews. Cole studied Mathematics at University College London, graduating with first class honours.
His involvement in computers began during a summer vacation consultancy at the Royal Aircraft Establishment. The computer used at the facility at the time was an ACE (Automatic Computing Engine), where Alan Turing was an active member of the design team behind the development of the ACE.
In 1965, Dr. Cole was appointed to a senior lectureship as Director of the Computing Laboratory in the University of St Andrews. At the time, the computing service staff totalled only 3 members. Dr. Cole himself, an operator and a computer/punch operator.

Purdie Building |
Thomas Purdie was born on January 27th 1843 in Biggar, South Lanarkshire. He spent seven years of his youth in South America, where he the abundance of flora and fauna captured his attention, arousing a spirit of inquiry that remained for the rest of his life. He returned to Scotland later in life. It was a conversation with Thomas Henry Huxley that convinced him to pursue a scientific education.
Purdie was elected to the vacant chair at St Andrews in 1884. At the time, the university could only offer cramped accommodation, imperfect equipment and the small matter that Chemistry had no official place in the curriculum. These circumstances did not faze Thomas Purdie whatsoever, as he worked to found the School of Chemistry in the university.
His work at St Andrews was influential, and he is described as someone who devoted himself to developing the characters of his students much more than converting them into chemists. He was also instrumental in founding a “research school” in St Andrews, when he presented to the University a fully equipped research laboratory.

Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's House |
Sir D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson (1860-1948) was a biologist, zoologist, classicist, and the head of Natural History at the University of St Andrews for more than 30 years. In his more recognised book, 'On Growth and Form', he deduced that the science of life, Biology, can be described using Physics and therefore expressed in the form of mathematical equations. He was one of the first to claim that Physical Laws are affecting the characteristics of living beings. |

Sir James Irvine - Wardlaw Museum |
Sir James Irvine was a Scottish organic chemist and he served as Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews for more than 30 years. He is well known for his discoveries concerning sugar molecules, especially his development of the sugar called Dulcitol, which was used as a treatment for serious diseases of his era, such as meningitis. He also supervised the construction of the anesthetic Novocaine, and, most importantly, he contributed a lot to our knowledge of carbohydrates, especially how we view their 'ring structures, which was a big step leading to future discoveries, such as the shape and structure of DNA chains. The Wardlaw Museum holds a significant number of samples from Irvine's personal research. |

Harbour Barometer |
This barometer, which is located on 35 North Street, St Andrews, is one of the many barometers whose installation was provoked and supervised by Admiral Robert Fitzroy. After multiple severe storms in 1859, Fitzroy decided to take action and place those barometers at ports throughout Britain, in order to facilitate the prediction of similar storms and other dangerous weather conditions, to make sure that ships would begin their sailing safely and to protect the lives of their crew. The harbour barometer contains 2 different types of barometers, an aneroid (works without the use of ay liquid), and a Fitzroy barometer. |
