Virtual tour of King James Library
The King James Library was built on the site of the mediaeval College of St John, the place where teaching began in St Andrews.
The building was originally intended to house books bequeathed by Mary Queen of Scots for the founding of a library, together with the University's existing collections. Over the years, after several extensions of the building, the collection eventually outgrew the site. In 1977 a new library was built on North Street. Today the King James Library used by the School of Divinity.
Further information on the King James Library can be found in the School of Divinity's short history of the King James Library.
