For more than 600 years, the University has drawn pioneering individuals to St Andrews to research and to learn. The stories of these people can be found in the collection of the University Museums.
In this talk, Eilidh Lawrence, Head of Museum and Photographic Collections, University of St Andrews, will share some of the ground-breaking discoveries, inventions and ideas that were developed in Fife and have had a lasting impact on Scotland. Some of them even changed the world.
