St Andrews secondary school Madras College's Kilrymont Campus has been put up for sale as a development opportunity.
The B-listed property with sports hall and playing fields in the south of the Fife town is to be vacated next year when pupils and staff move to a new building. Kilrymont was built in the 1960s and the site is zoned for education, so any change of use would have to be approved by Historic Environment Scotland.
Jonathan Reid, partner in selling agent Shepherd’s Dundee office, said: “This site is identified in the Fife Local Development Plan for educational purposes, reflecting its current use. Its northern boundary may vary depending upon final layout of development and accommodation of existing pitches for Greyfriars Primary to the immediate north.
“The buildings are Category B-listed. A Design and Development Framework identifying key design and development principles that should be considered for any reuse or redevelopment proposal will be made available to all interested parties.”
Madras College was founded at South Street site in 1833 by the Rev Dr Andrew Bell and takes its name from his time as an army chaplain in India. That site is to be occupied by the University of St Andrews when the school relocates. The 15.5-acre Kilrymont site was opened in 1962. It is e xpected to be available for development in August 2021.
