Scotsman Hospitality, which operates a total of 50 hotels, restaurants, cinemas and bars, has highlighted its move into the student accommodation market in St Andrews.
It has launched “SPACE”, declaring that, in keeping with its “reputation for the acquisition and regeneration of listed buildings”, it has converted the former Kilrymont high school into a “state-of-the-art collection” of self-contained studios, plus one, three and four bedroom apartments.
Scotsman Hospitality declared: “Many of the apartments and studios have enhanced features such as terrace gardens and town and sea views, and all have been fitted out to an exacting standard by the group.

“The campus also features a gym and several study and social spaces, including bookable private dinner and party rooms. Students have access to a dedicated shuttle service to enable them to get around town, as well as a range of pedal and e-bikes for use.”
It added: “When it comes to student life, the group have maximised on their experience in delivering memorable experiences, with a jam-packed schedule of events from cooking classes to yoga planned in for residents.”
The first phase of the development launched last month, Scotsman Hospitality noted, with SPACE welcoming its first residents from more than 20 countries, who are undertaking a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The group added: “A further phased launch of additional accommodation and amenities on the campus [is] well under way, with the site set to continue to be developed to support a burgeoning student population in the town.”
Bookings will soon open for the 2025/26 academic year, Scotsman Hospitality noted, flagging plans for open days at the site, "designed to give potential residents a full picture of the many facilities on offer".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
