St Andrews Cathedral
圣安德鲁斯大教堂

St Andrews Cathedral was once the most important church in Scotland. It was the base for the country's senior bishopric and housed the relics of St Andrew (the nation's patron saint). For many centuries St Andrews Cathedral was the largest building in Scotland (it was only surpassed in the nineteenth century when Edinburgh's Waverley Station was built). During its long history the Cathedral suffered a number of disasters. In 1304 King Edward I of England stripped the lead from the roof to provide materials for his siege of Stirling Castle. Seventy years later, in 1378, a great fire damaged large portions of the Cathedral. Major restoration work was undertaken, and by the early fifteenth-century the church had been returned to its former glory. However, in 1559 the Scottish Reformation ended the Cathedral's religious function. The vast church rapidly became ruined and by 1690 it looked much as it does today.

圣安德鲁斯大教堂曾经是苏格兰最重要的教会，是苏格兰高级主教工作，生活的地点并且收藏了圣安德鲁的遗骸(苏格兰的守护神)。在过去的许多个世纪里，圣安德鲁斯大教堂是苏格兰最大的建筑(直到19世纪爱丁堡的威弗利火车站建成)。在漫长的历史中，大教堂屡次遭受灾祸。1304年，英格兰国王爱德华一世从教堂的屋顶剥下铅作为包围斯特灵城堡的材料。七十年后的1378年,一场大火摧毁了大教堂的大部分。随着主体修复工作的进行,十五世纪早期大教堂已经恢复了往日的荣耀。然而,在1559年，苏格兰的宗教改革结束了大教堂的宗教信仰功能。巨大的教堂被迅速毁坏, 到了1690年，大教堂的样子看起来就像如同今天所见。
