Scope and Content 1824 view from south of St Andrews, Fife The Burgh of St Andrews was founded in 1130 by Bishop Robert with permission from David I, probably incorporating an existing settlement around St Andrew's shrine. It became a royal burgh in the 16th century during its commercial decline. The medieval abbey church would have dominated the pre-modern landscape. The massive structure originally filled the gap between the remains of its west end (right, with double spires) and those of its east end (right of centre, with one tower). There was a religious community at St Andrews by the mid 8th century, and a bishop by the mid 10th century. The Augustinian canons, who replaced the original community in around 1125, flourished until the Reformation. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
