South Court
南区

South Court is on the site of some of the oldest dwellings in St Andrews. The burgh of St Andrews was formally founded in the middle of the twelfth century when the local bishop invited settlers from England and continental Europe to establish a new town. The first provost of St Andrews (the Scottish equivalent of a mayor) was a man called Mainard who seems to have come from Flanders. Mainard was granted three "tofts" (or homesteads) on the south side of the road now known as South Street. These properties formed the nucleus of the medieval city of St Andrews. The current buildings at South Court are thought to date from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

南区拥有一些圣安德鲁斯最古老的民居。圣安德鲁斯镇成立于大约十二世纪中叶。圣安德鲁斯主教邀请从英国和欧洲大陆来的移民者在这建立新的城镇。圣安德鲁斯镇的第一个镇长是一位可能来自佛兰德斯名叫梅娜德的人。梅娜德被授予南街的三个宅地。这些宅地形成了中世纪圣安德鲁斯的核心。现在南区的建筑被认为可以追溯到16和17世纪。
