De Younger Hall van de universiteit van Saint Andrews is in 1929 gebouwd. Lange tijd gebruikte men een electronisch orgel. In 1990 werd een pijporgel geplaatst door Alexander Edmonstone. Het instrument is in 1975/1976 gebouwd voor Selwyn College Chapel in Cambridge. De orgelkas dateert van 1935-1937, en werd gemaakt door Rushworth & Dreaper. In 1998 is de Dulzian 16' van Swell vervangen door een nieuwe Contra Oboe. Het groot octaaf van de Dulzian is blijven staan.
