EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of St Andrews in 1898. The image showcases the juxtaposition of two significant landmarks, The Monastery and Madras College, both steeped in rich history. The ruins of Blackfriars, a 15th-century Dominican friary, stand proudly amidst the overgrown surroundings. Its circular shape evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we imagine the lives that once thrived within its walls. Next to it stands Madras College, a secondary school founded by Reverend Dr Andrew Bell in 1833. This comprehensive educational institution has become an integral part of Scottish heritage. The aged appearance of these architectural marvels adds depth to their story. Despite being captured in disrepair, they exude an undeniable charm that transports us back to a bygone era. The engraving-like quality further enhances this nostalgic journey through time. As we gaze upon this Victorian-era vista, we are reminded not only of Scotland's religious past but also its commitment to education and enlightenment. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of Christianity and learning that shaped St Andrews into what it is today. Through this lens into our own country's past, we are invited to appreciate the beauty found within decay and rediscover forgotten treasures from centuries gone by. It is an invitation for tourists and locals alike to explore this remarkable destination where history comes alive at every turn.
