The Pends is a mid 14th century large stone gatehouse of the Augustinian cathedral-priory, of St Andrews. This gate-hall was the main entrance to the priory and consists of four bays with a cross-wall between the first and second bays. Now a roofless shell with a large vehicular entrance, it has lost most of its upper storey and the gate-hall vaulting, its front façade is also incomplete. At the western end of South Street is West Port and nearby is St Andrews Castle.
