Circa 1690 Antique Etching Prospect of the Town of St Andrews - Framed

The prospect of the town of St Andrews, antique etching circa 1690. View of St Andrews over the East Sands with the great Cathedral of St Andrews which was a center of pilgrimage. Pilgrims came from the south. They crossed the Forth at Queensferry and made their way to Cupar and thence via Guardbridge to St Andrews.. They came to seek a cure for their illness, or to atone for their sins. Many also came because they had promised to make such a pilgrimage if divine intervention answered their payers. Thousands upon thousands of pilgrims came each year for hundreds of years to worship at the shrine of the relics of the Apostle and Martyr, St Andrew of Bethsaida in Galilee, who was made Patron Saint of Scotland. Frame measures 21 1/2" x 27 3/4"
