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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.
