Sitting outside Madras College, Blackfriars Chapel is all that remains of a once large monastery on the site. The Blackfriars were established in St Andrews by Bishop William Wishart and were known for their white robes with black crosses and a fanatical desire to root out "heresy".

Holy Trinity is the ‘mother church’ of St. Andrews in the sense that it seems to have come into being about 1144 when the urban settlement here became a fully organised municipality or burgh and continued to be the only church with a general responsibility for the spiritual wellbeing of the town and its associated country district for a prolonged period thereafter. To this day, indeed, it remains the accepted setting for all occasions most deeply affecting the life of the community as a whole.

The first mention of Holy Trinity is as a parish or priest’s district so called, but it can be assumed that the name was derived from a church of this dedication assigned to the Priory by the Bishop of St. Andrews in 1164. Under this arrangement – which applied to most of the parishes of what is usually called ‘the Medieval Scottish Church’ (from about 1100 to 1560) – the ‘cure of souls’ was delegated to a vicar or deputy of the nominal rector, drawing no more that a portion of the teinds ortithes (from the produce of each year) for his maintenance.

St. Leonard’s Parish Church is a member church of the Church of Scotland which is part of the Presbyterian tradition. The Church of St Leonard is in the town of St Andrews, home of golf and Scotland’s oldest University, which is located in the ancient Kingdom of Fife on Scotland’s east coast. The present church of St Leonard was built in 1904, but St Leonard’s congregation has a long history going back 800 years to the end of the 12th century.
