Scope and Content Douglas Hotel, No 35, on the east side of St Andrew Square, Edinburgh 19th century print St Andrew Square, the eastern square of James Craig's New Town, was built speculatively in the 1770s and does not have the unified design of Charlotte Square. It began as a fashionable residential area and is now a square of banks and insurance offices. No 35, the first grand house to be built in the New Town in 1769 for Andrew Crosbie of Holm, has giant Ionic columns on the ground and first floors, and a fluted frieze. In 1830 it became the Douglas Hotel. In 1834, an American journalist, Nathaniel Willis, stayed in the Douglas Hotel. For his 'Scotch breakfast' he received 'cold grouse, salmon, cold beef, marmalade, jellies, honeys, five kinds of bread, oatmeal cakes, coffee, tea and toast'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
