Beyond the Arch

The buildings visible through the arch of the 14th century gatehouse of the Augustinian cathedral-priory of St Andrews cathedral are a small part of St. Leonards Independent School This gate-hall was the main entrance to the priory and consists of four bays with a cross-wall between the first and second bays. Now a roofless shell with a large vehicular entrance, it has lost most of its upper storey and the gate-hall vaulting. The road (The Pends) gives access from South Street to the harbour.

The tower in the right had picture is that of St. Salvator's Chapel, situated on North Street and is part of the college of the same name. Founded in 1450 by Bishop James Kennedy, St. Salvator's College is part of the University of St. Andrews (founded 1413)
