    Amazing
    In the beautiful surroundings of Southern Scotland this artistic monument is absolutely amazing. Bought food and drink off one of the food vans too. So friendly and the food was good too.

    Religious Intolerance
    Great views of the North Sea; tribute to men put to death for religious views from almost 200 years ago.

    Nice Landmark of St. Andrews University and Town
    This is the grounds of I think St Mary's College of St. Andrews University. The Quad retains much of the 16th century buildings, including the historic King James Library founded by King James VI.

    The common area is a pretty grassy area with benches and walkways typical of ancient universities in the UK. The area is a lovely place to eat or study, but being a Glasgow grad, I'd have to say this quad is no match for the Glasgow University quadrangle :-)

    A Mother’s Memorial For Her Son.
    This is a fountain ⛲️ in memorial to George John Whyte-Melville, who was a 19th century soldier, novelist and poet. It was commissioned by his mother, Lady Catherine Melville , in 1880, after he was killed in a riding accident.
    It’s 14 ft high, made of Dalbeattie granite and red Dumfriesshire ashlar , and has 2 decorated quatrefoil water- basins , from which 3 water fountains originally cascaded. Sadly, due to the corrosion of internal pipes , it’s not been operative as a fountain since the 1930s. Perhaps because of its situation in the middle of a busy road there’s not much can be done with it - which is a pity, because I’m sure if it was cleaned and sympathetically restored it could be a very attractive Victorian monument.
