St Andrews Cathedral & Tower [04:12]
As well as being famous for golf, castle, university, Wills and Kate, St Andrews has a magnificient ruined medieval cathedral and tower. There are great views of the town from the top of St Rule`s Tower. St Andrews Cathedral dominated the history of the medieval church in Scotland from its construction in the 12th century until the Protestant Reformation in 1560. Scotland's largest and most magnificent medieval church, the cathedral was the seat of Scotland's leading bishops (and from 1472 archbishops). It occupied a site used for worship since the 8th century AD, when the relics of St Andrew, Scotland's patron saint, are said to have been brought here. The cathedral buildings are surrounded by a graveyard, and encircled by the most complete and imposing monastic enclosure walls in Scotland. Even in its ruinous state the cathedral remains a prominent landmark, the focus of the three medieval streets of St Andrews, and highly visible from the sea. St Rule's Tower St Rule's Church, with its 33m/108ft tower, was probably built around 1130 as the first place of worship for the newly-arrived Augustinian canons. This Continental priestly order supplanted the Culdees, a Celtic monastic order that had been present on the site for centuries. The lofty tower may have been a beacon for pilgrims heading for the shrine of St Andrew.

Scalan 2011.m4v [11:49]
This is a personal and respectfully brief account of an annual pilgrimage to Scalan. It follows a group of pilgrims as they journey to the braes of Glenlivet to participate in a Mass. The pipes can be heard echoing through the braes, calling people to Mass. The Mass is offered in celebration of the courage, faithfulness and determination of those who lived and worked with and within this seminary during the 'penal period.' [Scalan 1716 to 1799]

UM! Whisky Tour #66: Lagavulin [05:46]
Lagavulin takes out the fire but leaves in the warmth... and how splendidly it does so... for a heavily peated whisky Lagavulin seems rather smooth in comparison to some of it's neighbours. Founded around 1815, Lagavulin was built by Peter Mackie along the road from Laphroaig and was intended to be an exact replica of it's older sister distillery (Mackie had fallen foul of his partners at Laphroaig and wanted to take them on in the marketplace...). Originally regsitered under the name 'Malt Mill', the distillery became Lagavulin when the stills were shifted into a bigger premises built alongside the old stillhouse which had been converted from an old farm building with the stills made to fit the space... the lyne arms of the stills came at an angle with the roof of the old building, a design borne of necessity yet adding to the character and also undoubtedly to the originality of the spirit. The old stillhouse is now the reception area... No filing inside Lagavulin regrettably... another Diageo solemnity... but another great distillery embraced ;) Next up, a pilgrimage to old Port Ellen...RIP
