		Their hit single “Power and the Passion” became an anthem for the hard-rocking St. Andrews lads.

	George Fox University: Juniors Abroad: Europe: Day 4 - Castle Campbell and St. Andrews
		Besides being the city where golf was invented (celebrating its 250th year), St. Andrews is home to an important university, (unfortunately no one saw Prince William), and beautiful cathedral ruins.
		The cathedral was once the largest one in Scotland, but during the Protestant Reformation, the local presbyterians decided that it was too large and ornate to be used and so the roof was removed, many of the stones used it other projects and it fell into ruin.
		After the walk back down the hill (much easier), it was off to St. Andrews to pay our respects to the home of golf.

		St Andrews has recently undergone a fairly extensive rennovation and work on the exterior is still going on.

	St Magnus Cathedral Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		St Magnus Cathedral subsequently came under the control of the Archbishop of St Andrews and the Bishops were subsequently of Scots rather than Norse origin.
