This is Chapel of St. Salvator built by Bishop Kennedy in 1450 on the campus of St. Andrews University. Prince William and Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge, both attended college at St. Andrews University. William was the first royal not to be tutored privately for several generations or longer. He chose to go to college at St. Andrews and it is easy to see why.
The campus was beautiful and right across the street from St. Andrews castle and St. Andrews Chapel that is discussed in the previous blog. The proximity of all this history is really amazing. It is easy to find shops and pubs that have been open for centuries. From the campus you can see all of these sites plus St. Andrews golf course and the North Sea.
Bill had previous business in Scotland and in addition brought his oldest son Will to Scotland to see the history several years ago. When he and Will were touring the campus they spotted Prince Andrew near this gate. As you can see the campus is well manicured.
This is a view of the chapel tower before entering the building.
This are pictures from the inside of the chapel. It is small in comparison to many churches we see but it only serves the university. It is very cool.
Believe me, these are not two choir boys I found when I was there. Bill is on the left and Louis, who works with Bill and I, is on the right. I will treasure this picture…for the humor value.
