David Russell Hall was a student residential complex owned by the University of St. Andrews. The original hall
was built in the 1960s and comprised a series of independent blocks, or houses, connected by covered walkways
and set amid gardens. These buildings were demolished in 2003-6 and replaced by the David Russell Apartments.
David Russell Hall was given to the university by David Francis Oliphant Russell in memory of his father, Sir David
Russell, who was Managing Director of Tullis Russell, the Fife paper-making firm.
David F.O. Russell was a distinguished soldier, a successful humanitarian businessman and a gifted man,
combining a first-class brain with energy, wisdom and humour, who maintained his interest in the University of
St. Andrews throughout his life, becoming chancellor’s assessor in 1963 and finance convener from 1964 to 1977.
