Cathedral Cloister and Priory Buildings
大教堂回廊和修道院建筑

Like many medieval English and continental cathedrals, St Andrews had an associated monastery. In the mid-twelfth century a priory of Augustinian canons was founded at St Andrews Cathedral (displacing an earlier community of Celtic holy men). The Augustinian canons managed the shrine of St Andrew, and the cathedral functioned as their monastery church. The canons lived in accommodation to the south of the cathedral, and the remains of their cloister, storage rooms and chapter house (where priory business was discussed) can still be seen. Academic study was an important part of monastery life, and during the late Middle Ages canons from the cathedral were involved in the setting up of St Andrews University. However, the atmosphere in the cathedral priory was not always one of virtuous scholarship – in 1394 the prior of St Andrews Cathedral, Robert de Montrose, was murdered by one of his fellow canons. The murderer died of natural causes shortly afterwards and was buried in a rubbish heap.

和许多中世纪英国和欧洲大陆的大教堂一样,圣安德鲁斯大教堂有一个附属的修道院。在十二世纪中期，一个属于奥古斯丁教士们的小修道院在圣安德鲁斯大教堂建立，取代了之前的凯尔特神职人员教会。奥古斯丁教士们管理圣安德鲁的神社, 大教堂被他们用作修道院的教堂。教士们住在大教堂南边的宿舍里，至今修道院，储存室和礼堂 （讨论修道院事物的地方）的遗迹仍然可以看到。学术研究是修道院生活的重要组成部分,在中世纪晚期，来自大教堂的教士们参与了圣安德鲁斯大学的建立。然而,教堂修道院的气氛并不总是善良道德的——1934年，在圣安德鲁斯大教堂前,罗伯特·德·蒙特罗斯被与他一起的修道士谋杀。不久之后， 凶手死于自然原因葬并被埋葬在了一个垃圾堆。
