Medieval History
A medieval pilgrimage route to major historic religious site is to be resurrected ? and organisers hope it will grow to rival a similar event in Spain.
The Way of St Andrews will allow travellers to a route taken by 11th and 12th century Christian devotees who flocked to the Fife town, once home to the largest church in Scotland.
Those behind the trail hope the 62 mile trip, starting from St Mary?s Cathedral in Edinburgh, could prove as popular as the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain.
