Scope and Content 20th-century view from east 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. By the 20th century, the University, incorporated by charter in 1412, had become the city's main employer. However, St Andrews is perhaps best known internationally as the home of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club. Founded in 1754 as the Society of St Andrews Golfers, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club took its present name in 1834. It opened a clubhouse in 1853, the year a railway station at nearby Leuchars turned St Andrews into a popular resort. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
