St Andrew's Old Kirk

In North Berwick, in what would be the entrance to the port area which forms the ancient pilgrim path along the coast (possibly from Lindisfarne, "The Holy Island"), there's the small St Andrew's Old Kirk. This rural chapel had great importance in the past as a holy stop on the way to St. Andrews. This is the reason that it shares its name with the famous location further north in Scotland. Historical records show that the church was much bigger after its initial construction during the 12th century than what is there today. Pilgrims during medieval times had quite an effect on business and commercial transportation to other parts of Great Britain which explains the size and importance of this church.
