Fish Gait
鱼街

The road leading from North Street to the Castle used to be called Fish Gait. The early history of the road is unclear. It has been suggested that Fish Gait is one of the oldest streets in St Andrews. However, archaeological excavations in the 1980s found that there was limited development in this area before the fourteenth century. By the early fifteenth century Fish Gait was a well-established street, and the land on each side had been divided into small plots. The name Fish Gait may indicate the line of work pursued by some of the street's residents. In the late Middle Ages St Andrews' fish market was located towards the east end of North Street, quite near to the junction with Fish Gait.

从北街到城堡的路过去被称为鱼街。这条街的早期历史并不清楚。有人认为鱼街是圣安德鲁斯最古老的街道之一。然而, 在1980年代的考古发掘发现这一区域在14世纪之前几乎没有被开发。在十五世纪早期，鱼街成为了固定的街道并且街两边的土地被分成小块。鱼街名字的由来可能是因为街附近的居民从事与鱼相关的工作。在中世纪晚期，圣安德鲁斯的鱼市场位于北街的东端，与北街和鱼街的交叉口很近。
