Scope and Content Fore-tower and east wall of St Andrews Castle, Fife St Andrews Castle, the seat of the bishop of St Andrews, was destroyed during the Wars of Independence and rebuilt in its present form by Bishop Traill (1385-1401). It was besieged in 1546-7 after Protestants assassinated Cardinal Beaton. The south west façade with the main entrance was rebuilt after the siege by Archbishop Hamilton on earlier foundations, replacing the earlier drawbridge with a permanent structure. A small door to the right provided access without opening the main gate. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
