History
When we purchased the property for Dunstane City Hotel, little did we know we were reinstating a historical connection between it and Dunstane House at the same time.
It appears that around 1867 one Archibald Shearer, a music seller in Edinburgh who was living at Dunstane House at the time, "erected a house or villa (now known as Number Five Hampton Terrace) agreeable to the plan approved of by the Feoffers of Trust and Governors of George Heriot's Hospital". History has now come full circle as the link between Dunstane House at 4 West Coates and Dunstane City at 5 Hampton Terrace is revived.
