Scope and Content Detail of base of west archway in the drawing room of Castlecliffe House, The Scores, St Andrews, Fife This large house, which overlooks the sea, was built in 1869 to designs by architect David Bryce (1803-76). It is two-storeyed with a raised basement level, and is built from bull-faced ashlar stone with polished dressings. It is currently used by the Economics department of the University of St Andrews. This shows the base of a pillar in the drawing room with carved wooden details. The richly ornamented mouldings highlight the entrance to a later bay extension. The drawing room would have been used after dinner for drinks, music and playing cards. The ladies would 'withdraw' here first, to be joined by the gentlemen after they had finished their port and cigars in the dining room. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
