St Andrews Castle, located in the coastal town of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland, is a historic fortress with a rich and tumultuous history. Originally built around 1200, the castle has served as a residence for bishops and a stronghold during various conflicts, including the Wars of Scottish Independence. It features a notable bottle dungeon, where prisoners were kept, and a mine and counter-mine system, which visitors can explore. The castle's strategic location on a rocky promontory overlooking the North Sea adds to its dramatic appeal.
