Scope and Content New Club, No 85 Princes Street, Edinburgh In 1954 the Princes Street Panel was set up to regulate the redevelopment of Princes Street, whose north side was expected to be rebuilt from end to end. The New Club, which replaced William Burn's club building of 1834, was designed to the Panel formula. The new building, designed in 1966 by Alan Reiach, has shops at street level, and a first floor walkway which has been left unused. The stepped-out windows, between large vertical panels of bluish granite, give splendid views over to the Castle. The Panel formula included first-floor balconies that would make a continuous walkway along Princes Street, with each individual development cantilevered out overhead. A few isolated examples were built before the scheme was abandoned in 1979. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
