St Andrews

Map of St Andrews

ST ANDREWS parish is divided into Tankerness and Toab. The former takes its name from the former parish church at the Hall of Tankerness, where the 12th century Norse farmer, Erling of Tankerness, lived. The name Tankerness may derive: (ON Tannskari-nes, Tannskari’s Point). The parish is mostly low-lying agricultural ground, apart from a small amount of moorland on the Holm boundary.
