Title

Long Pier

Description

One of the most noticeable features of St Andrews Harbour is the long stone pier. There has been a pier on this site since the Middle Ages. The original pier was mostly made of wood. Over the centuries the wood was replaced with stone – some of it removed from the nearby ruins of St Andrews Cathedral and Castle. In about 1900 a concrete extension was added at the east end of the pier, making it easier for pleasure steamers to land passengers.
