Scope and Content Elevated 1930s photograph of St Andrew's Cathedral Church, St Andrews, Fife St Andrew's Cathedral Church and Augustinian priory were begun by Bishop Arnold and King Malcolm IV in 1160 or 1161 and, being constructed on a scale unrivalled anywhere in Britain except at Norwich, took at least half a century to complete. This photograph was taken from the top of the tower of St Rule's and shows: the interior of the west wall of the south transept (foreground); the exterior of the south wall; and the surviving fragment of the west end. Disasters suffered by St Andrews Cathedral include: 1270s - a storm demolishing its west end; 1304 - Edward I stripping the lead for his war-effort; around the mid 14th-century - a serious fire; and in 1409 - a storm destroying the south transept's gable.
