St Regulus Hall

St Regulus Hall stands on Queen's Terrace with Scottish Baronial architecture features, including elaborate rooflines, tourelles, and stepped gables.

Built in 1868 by architect George Rae as a hotel, the University of St Andrews acquired the building in the 1950s to accommodate growing student numbers.

The hall bears the name of Saint Regulus, a 4th-century Greek monk who transported Saint Andrew's bones to the Scottish coastal town.

The residence provides accommodation for 170 students and serves 19 meals per week, offering facilities such as a library, computer room, and student kitchens.

The hall's crest incorporates elements from Saint Regulus's journey, depicting the ship that carried Saint Andrew's relics to Scotland.
