On this site, 107 South Street, property and business strands of Scottish printing history meet - here, the printing works of the 17c printer, Edward Raban; here, by 1744, the house of Baillie Bell, co-worker with Alexander Wilson, father of Scottish type founding. John Innes' success in starting up the 'St Andrews Citizen' encouraged him, in 1879, to buy his employers' (the Tullis Family) printing and publishing business.
Its founder Robert Tullis (indentured in 1786 to a St Andrews bookseller and bookbinder) had learnt printing at the University workshop. In 1795 he set up, in Cupar, a printing and, later, a publishing business.

Definitely five stars for this historic building with wooden medievalist look. First bank holiday visit after national lockdown lifted, but it was closed on Sunday afternoon.
In the early years this building was a Christian Institute. In the 21st century the stationers shop has a lot of historical significance.
Apparently, the first $ sign was typecast here. Something, to be proud off....
