Part of a B Group comprising Forgan House in The Links and Pilmour Links, the Rusack's Hotel in Pilmour Links, 2-4 Golf Place with 1 Pilmour Links, 12-24 Golf Place (Even Nos), 3, 6, 7, 16-18A, and 19 Pilmour Links and 7-8, 12, 13, 15-16, 18 The Links. Kinloch Cottage was (in 1905) the property of Sir Alexander Kinloch Bart, and was occupied at this time by Dr D Harris. St Andrews Golf Club purchased No 4 Kirk (sic) Place from Mrs Smith in April 1905 for the sum of ?800, for conversion to a clubhouse. In 1905 this building, which appears on an 1838 map of St Andrews, had a traditional centre door with flanking windows, the 1st floor as today; the adjoining property(Kinloch Cottage) had a pedimented door to left, 2 windows to centre and further pedimented door to right. The club expanded in 1922 with the purchase of Kinloch Cottage, and rented some of the rooms to the St Regulus Ladies' Club. The joint property was sold for ?1500 in August 1932, and presumably converted to shops at this time. Nos 2 and 4 was utilised as Auchterlonies clubmaker's and No. 4 as MacArthur's bakery premises, with Mr Eric Auchterlonie living in Kinloch Cottage. In the 1960s, Auchterlonies bought out MacArthur's. The present shop, still trading as 'Auchterlonie's', now occupies the whole ground floor and until recent years the proprietor lived in Kinloch Cottage.
The club making business of D & W Auchterlonie was founded in 1894 by William Auchterlonie (1872-1963) who learned his skills from Robert Forgan. His brother David was in charge of the business side. The business remained in direct family ownership until the death of Laurie Auchterlonie in 1988.
