History
The building was designed by Andrew Granger Heiton as the headquarters of the 5th (Perthshire Highland) Volunteer Battalion, The Black Watch and was completed in October 1894.[1][2] This unit evolved to become the 8th (Cyclist) Battalion, The Black Watch in 1908 and the Highland Cyclist Battalion in 1909.[3] The regimental headquarters moved to the Hunter Street drill hall in Kirkcaldy shortly before the First World War.[3] The regiment was disbanded in 1919 and the building was subsequently converted for residential use.[1]
