Medieval History
People can now explore St Andrews Cathedral, Scotland?s largest medieval church, as it looked in the Middle Ages, through a new online portal created by the University of St Andrews.
Visitors will be able to create their own avatars and navigate their way around the online reconstruction, which shows the Cathedral as it was 700 years ago. They can explore the cloisters, the internal choir section, the chapter house, and the nave. There will be historic characters so visitors will be able to chat with Robert the Bruce, an Augustinian Friar and perhaps ?The Old Grey Lady? a ghost reported to haunt the building. The experience is intended to give users a new perspective on Scottish history, accessible across the generations.
