Geocache Description:

Another sometimes hidden gem in St Andrews.

This is the historic quadrangle of St Mary's College, University of St Andrews (founded 1410).

On entering the quadrangle from South Street, St Mary's College is on the right - now houses the University's Faculty of Divinity.

On the left of the gate is Lower Parliament Hall which was temporarily the site of the Scottish Parliament during an outbreak of plague in Edinburgh from 1645-6, and is now used as the University Debating Hall.

The building on the left of the Quadrangle is now the School of Psychology, but was formerly the University Library (which was a copyright library 1710-1837).

The tree at the foot of Founder’s Tower was said to have been planted by Mary Queen of Scots but far more imposing is the Holm Oak that dominates this quadrangle

On the far side of the Quadrangle is the ruined remains of a gate, now being restored, and beyond that lies the Bute Medical School, dating from 1899.

Information panels in the Quadrangle give visitors historical information.
