    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Martyrs' Kirk]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[Mathematics,Philosophy]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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.
