Teviot Row House, Student union building in Bristo Square, Scotland

The gothic structure features large traceried windows and stands as a prominent example of Scottish baronial architecture constructed with Hailes sandstone.

Construction of Teviot Row House began in 1887 with a budget of 15,600 pounds and reached completion in October 1889 under architect Sydney Mitchell.

The building contains six different bars, including The Library Bar and The Underground nightclub, where students gather for jazz nights and pub quizzes.

A major renovation project starting in October 2023 will add wheelchair access through ramped entrances at Bristo Square and Charles Street Lane.

The structure holds the distinction of being the first building in the world specifically constructed to serve as a student union facility.
