St Salvators Chapel, St Andrews, is a excellent example of Late Gothic architecture. Founded in 1450 the chapel has a long history.

Originally founded with a missionary as well as an educational function the chapel is still in use today for sunday services and many a wedding.

This is a shot taken from the front of the chapel looking backwards, it shows the ornate chapel organ which sits up on its own platform above the congregation at the rear of the chapel.

Also known as “Chattan” this university residence stretches the full length of Abbotsford Crescent.

The original McIntosh Hall was acquired by the University in 1921 and subsequently extended.

St Salvators Chapel

St Salvators Chapel is situated in the heart of medieval St Andrews. It is now part of St Andrews University, but still a “working” church. The Chapel is a rare and beautiful example of Late Gothic architecture. Founded in 1450 as a part of Bishop James Kennedy’s College of the Holy Saviour, the Chapel of St Salvator has had a long and varied history.

The chapel is a very comon place to have your wedding ceremony too.

Behind the chapel is St Salvators Quad, this has many buildings most now used by the university for teaching or functions.
