The Cathedral of St Andrew

Today I was along at The Cathedral of St Andrew, It is more commonly referred to as St Andrews Cathedral, It is a ruined Roman Catholic cathedral in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. It was built in 1158 and became the centre of the Medieval Catholic Church in Scotland as the seat of the Archdiocese of St Andrews and the Bishops and Archbishops of St Andrews. It did however fall into disuse and ruin after Catholic mass was outlawed during the 16th-century Scottish Reformation. It is currently a monument in the custody of Historic Scotland. The ruins indicate that the building was approximately 119m (391 feet) long, and is the largest church to have been built in Scotland. It is well worth a visit and has it's own museum in the grounds. You can also climb up to the top of St Rules tower for an aerial look over St Andrews rooftops.
I was hoping for slightly better reflections in the puddles, but for some strange reason there was no rain and a large orange object was spotted in the sky whilst i was there!
