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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
