St Andrews Time Walk

room 15 ECHOES

Location: St. Andrews, Fife, Scotland, United Kingdom

This short stroll around the town beginning and ending in the same place St Mary’s quad offers a different perspective on features many walk past frequently, but which few notice. Part historical, part theological, it offers a personal philosophical reflection on the significance and possible continued relevance of some of these time-based features of this ancient town and its turbulent history.
