Statement of Special Interest

Part of a B Group comprising Forgan House in The Links and Pilmour Links, the Rusack's Hotel in Pilmour Links, 2-4 Golf Place with 1 Pilmour Links, 12-24 Golf Place (Even Nos), 3, 6, 7, 16-18A, and 19 Pilmour Links and 7-8, 12, 13, 15-16, 18 The Links. Kinloch Cottage was (in 1905) the property of Sir Alexander Kinloch Bart, and was occupied at this time by Dr D Harris. St Andrews Golf Club purchased No 4 Kirk (sic) Place from Mrs Smith in April 1905 for the sum of ?800, for conversion to a clubhouse. In 1905 this building, which appears on an 1838 map of St Andrews, had a traditional centre door with flanking windows, the 1st floor as today; the adjoining property(Kinloch Cottage) had a pedimented door to left, 2 windows to centre and further pedimented door to right. The club expanded in 1922 with the purchase of Kinloch Cottage, and rented some of the rooms to the St Regulus Ladies' Club. The joint property was sold for ?1500 in August 1932, and presumably converted to shops at this time. Nos 2 and 4 was utilised as Auchterlonies clubmaker's and No. 4 as MacArthur's bakery premises, with Mr Eric Auchterlonie living in Kinloch Cottage. In the 1960s, Auchterlonies bought out MacArthur's. The present shop, still trading as 'Auchterlonie's', now occupies the whole ground floor and until recent years the proprietor lived in Kinloch Cottage.

The club making business of D & W Auchterlonie was founded in 1894 by William Auchterlonie (1872-1963) who learned his skills from Robert Forgan. His brother David was in charge of the business side. The business remained in direct family ownership until the death of Laurie Auchterlonie in 1988.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
