St Andrews Heritage Museum & Garden

St Andrews Heritage Museum and Garden at 12 North Street is set in a charming 17th century house and garden, a stone’s throw from St Andrews Cathedral and St Andrews Castle. Our Museum and Gardens are located in the oldest settlement of St Andrews and is one of the earliest domestic dwellings in the area.

Focusing on the story of the Town and its people from circa 1800, our Museum and Gardens are unique. Our displays showcase social, working and domestic life in St Andrews through fascinating objects that have been gifted by the public and Trust members for over 60 years. Our Gardens are a hidden gem and, as well as a sensory garden and a variety of plants, visitors can enjoy exhibitions and installations throughout.

In 2024 the Museum & Gardens closed for major refurbishment with a planned re-opening of Summer 2024. A series of events and activities are being held locally during this period of closure, from tours and talks, to workshops and pop-up exhibitions.
