About
One of the few surviving city gates in Scotland, built in 1589 and renovated in 1843.
Step through the best preserved city gate in Scotland, leading to the heart of a medieval town.
The West Port of St Andrews was built in 1587 as a monumental entrance to the city’s South Street. It was less a defensive structure than it was a symbol of civic pride.
Its design is based on that of the Netherbow in Edinburgh – which, in turn, was modelled on Paris’s Porte Saint-Honore. The gate was extensively refurbished in 1843.
