Cathedral Precinct
大教堂区域

During the Middle Ages St Andrews Cathedral was surrounded by buildings. There was accommodation for the canons who served the cathedral, housing for pilgrims who visited St Andrew's shrine, barns for storing the food and produce given to the church, and a large watermill for grinding grain. Around the edge of this vast religious complex there ran a stone wall, much of which still survives. The original wall was probably built in the fourteenth century. In the early 1500s the cathedral's prior, John Hepburn, gave orders for the wall to be heightened. Building work continued under John's nephew, Prior Patrick Hepburn, who commissioned the construction of several new towers. The difference between the older stonework and the Hepburns' improvements is visible in a number of places on the wall.

在中世纪,圣安德鲁斯大教堂被许多建筑包围。有服务于大教堂的牧师的宿舍,有提供给来圣安德鲁斯朝圣的朝圣者的房子,有储存并且制作食物的谷仓，还有一个用来磨粒的大水磨。在这巨大的宗教场所边缘有一堵石墙, 石墙的大部分如今仍然存在。最早的墙可能是在14世纪建造的。在1500年代，大教堂长老, 约翰•赫本下令加高了围墙。建设工作在约翰的侄子, 长老帕特里克·赫本的命令下继续进行, 他还下令修建了几个新塔楼。老城墙和经赫本改进后的城墙的区别在许多段城墙上可以看到。
