Cathedral Ruins

circa 1950: The ruins of St Andrews Cathedral in Fife. Construction of the cathedral was begun in 1160, and it was dedicated to St Andrew, one of the twelve Apostles and the patron saint of Scotland. The saint's relics were brought to the burgh in the 8th century, and St Andrews was the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland until the 16th century Reformation. (Photo by Fox Photos/Getty Images)

Forth Bridge

A view of Fife and the Fourth Railway Bridge from the South Tower of the Forth Road Bridge. The Forth Road Bridge is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary later this year, although a 3.5 million resurfacing project on the bridge is proving to be a less than happy occasion for weekend commuters stuck in lengthy tailbacks. Work which began on the project on April 16 will see the south-bound carriageway closed every weekend until June with the Forth Estuary Transport Authority donating 10, 000 to local communities to come up with an idea to celebrate the anniversary to thank them for their patience
