"The tower of St Rule's church is 32.92m [108 feet] high. The general features imply a general conclusion that St Regulus belonged to a Yorkshire pre-Norman building tradition. The Cathedral and Priory of St Andrews is the successor to the adjacent church of St Regulus or St Rule. The church was stripped
of the roof of lead for use at the siege of Sterling. [Circa 1328]. After the Reformation when it suffered the "burning of images and mass-books and breaking of Alters" it was allowed to fall into decay. In 1826 the Barons of the Exchequer took possession of the ruins. In 1946 the priory was given to the Ministry of Works (now Department
of the Enviorment) by Major M.D.D. Crichton-Stuart." Click below to see an interactive panoramic view from St Rule's tower.
