St Regulus Hall, Student residence hall in St Andrews, Scotland
St Regulus Hall is a student residence in St Andrews featuring Scottish Baronial architecture with ornate rooflines, turrets, and stepped gables. The building houses around 170 residents and includes shared spaces such as a library, computer room, and communal kitchens.
The building was designed in 1868 by architect George Rae as a hotel and operated in that capacity for several decades. The University of St Andrews purchased it in the 1950s to create additional housing as the student population grew.
The name honors Saint Regulus, a monk credited with bringing Saint Andrew's relics to Scotland in ancient times. Visitors can notice references to this connection displayed throughout the building's interior spaces and decorative elements.
The building sits centrally on Queen's Terrace and is easily accessible on foot. Keep in mind this is an active student residence, so visitors should be respectful of residents and avoid disturbing private areas.
The hall's crest features symbols from Saint Regulus's legend, including a ship representing the vessel that carried relics to Scotland. This detailed heraldic design blends ancient religious history with the residence's modern academic role.
