The West Port South Street St Andrews Scotland The West Port was built circa 1580 and is the only remaining gate in its original position in Scotland.

Above the centre of the arch is the St Andrews Coat of Arms. The original plaque in the St Andrews Museum (Kinburn House). Blackfriars Chapel Ruins Blackfriars Chapel was built in 1525. The Blackfriars were Dominican Friars, introduced to St Andrews by Bishop Wishart after 1274. The chapel was built on an older church building, and consisted of a nave and transepts.

In his spare time he studied the Rocks of extinct creatures called Graptolites to help unravel the complexities of these ancient rocks. As a result of his careful studies, he proposed anew division of geological time, The Ordovician Period that is now recognised and used internationally. He also correctly interpreted the Moine Thrust Fault Zone in the North West Highlands of Scotland as amass of older rocks pushed over younger ones, an idea which at the time conflicted with orthodoxy. He left St Andrews in 1881 to become Professor of Geology at the University of Birmingham.

The upper floor was used by Regius Professor James Gregory as his workplace from 1668-1674. The King James Library Building on the lower floor was a public hall where the Scottish Parliament sat in 1645-46 and where the meridian line was first laid in his workshop in 1748 the continuation can be seen in the pavement in South Street. Due to the Copyright Act of 1709, the University was entitled to claim a copy of any book registered at Stationer's Hall. This explains the depth and extent of our 18th century printed collections. The college libraries were officially integrated into the common library in 1783. Library extensions were built in 1889-1890 and in 1907-1908 as collections continued to grow.
