Archers' Hall, Historic clubhouse in Southside, Edinburgh, Scotland

Built in 1777, Archers' Hall at 66 Buccleuch Street features classical architecture designed by Alexander Laing with a 40-foot-long dining hall and portrait gallery.

The Royal Company of Archers initiated construction on August 16, 1776, with Brigadier-General William St Clair of Roslin laying the foundation stone.

The dining hall displays portraits of past Royal Company officers and includes a chandelier modeled after one in Napoleon's Compiègne chateau in France.

The hall underwent renovations from 2008 to 2011, adding new facilities for 75 postgraduate students from the University of Edinburgh.

The Latin inscription 'Nulla Caledoniam gens unquam impune lacesset' marks the foundation stone, reflecting the building's connection to Scottish heritage.
