    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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. 

The St. Andrews Museum hours: 
Monday to Saturday from 10.30am to 4pm during April through September
Wednesday to Saturday 10.30am to 4pm during October to March ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Natural History,Photography]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.
