St Mary's College, South Street, St Andrews

St Mary's College, located on South Street in St Andrews, was founded in 1537 or 1538 and constructed between 1539 and 1541 on the site of an earlier pedagogy dating back to 1430. The building was overseen by Walter Marr, the Master of Works, and Thomas French, the master mason. It underwent reconstruction by Robert Reid in 1829 and 1830, which included the rebuilding of the entrance archway from the street.

The college is a two-storey structure with an attic, built from rubble, situated around a courtyard. It features a stair tower with a corbelled bell-cote at its center, as well as another stair tower with an ogee roof located in the re-entrant angle of the Principal's House. The south-facing frontage has three painted windows, with tall first-floor windows that have shafted surrounds. The building was remodeled in 1612, as indicated by a date on the structure. Additionally, there is an old coped garden wall dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, along with a detached gateway in the garden that dates from the 15th to the 17th centuries.
