A NEW five-star boutique hotel is set to open in a Scottish town next year.
The luxury Seaton House is due to open its doors in St Andrews in autumn 2024.
The Victorian townhouse, which was once known as the Scores Hotel, looks over the first tee of the Old Course.

Valor Hospitality Partners, who are spearheading the venture, decided to return the hotel to the building’s original name as a nod to St Andrews’ rich history.
It is expected to create approximately 70 jobs who will oversee the upkeep of 40 luxury bedrooms and three suites.
Five rooms will also boast their own private terraces.
Renowned chef Roy Brett, who runs the acclaimed seafood restaurant Ondine Oyster and Grill in Edinburgh, is also set to open Ondine St Andrews in the hotel.
Brett’s first venture since opening the Edinburgh location in 2009, the restaurant is expected to celebrate local produce.

Euan McGlashan, co-founder and chief executive officer of Valor Hospitality Partners, said: “Having lived away from Scotland for over 30 years, it is a thrill to be back working on such an incredible project in the beautiful St Andrews.
“Our wonderful owners have been intimately involved in all the design details, ensuring their love of hospitality and golf, particularly in Scotland and Ireland, is projected in a way that is residential in feel with a very distinct sense of place and all the modern conveniences our guests will expect.
“The town of St Andrews have been supportive all along and we are eager to make the local residents very proud of Seaton House.
“The incredible food and beverage offerings are aimed at guests and locals alike, and we hope that Ondine becomes a fan favourite in the town.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
