Scope and Content Garden Front, Mount Melville, St Andrews, Fife (latterly known as Craigtoun Hospital) Mount Melville, a Jacobean-style chateau lying in extensive parkland to the south-west of St Andrews, was designed by the architect, Paul Waterhouse, for the brewer, James Younger. This photograph of the entrance front was taken in 1905 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. The garden front, in pink sandstone with an array of small-paned windows, is asymmetric with a twin-gabled centre and corbelled, conical roofed turrets at the gabled ends. The gardens, also laid out by Waterhouse, include urns and finials from an earlier house on the site. The owner of this property, James Younger, was from the George Younger & Son Ltd brewing business in Alloa. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
