Blackfriars, Medieval ruins in St Andrews, Scotland.
The remaining stone walls and vaulted apse of Blackfriars stand at the intersection of Bell Street and South Street in St Andrews.
The Dominican friary, established in the mid-15th century, encountered destruction during the Protestant Reformation in 1559, leading to the expulsion of its friars.
The ruins represent the presence of Dominican religious orders in medieval Scotland and their connection to the University of St Andrews educational system.
The stone remains are accessible without entrance fees and provide clear examples of medieval Scottish religious architecture throughout the day.
The structure transformed from two to five brothers in the 1510s, marking a period of growth before its ultimate destruction during religious conflicts.
