Scope and Content New Club, No 85 Princes Street, Edinburgh Early 20th-century sketch of the dining room The New Club was formed in 1787 and met in the hired rooms of a tavern in Shakespeare Square at the east end of Princes Street. It moved to its first purpose-built premises in Princes Street in 1837. In 1966 these were replaced by a new club building. The oak panelling in the dining room, incorporating large portrait paintings, was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1912. It has been reused in the dining room of the new 1966 club building. Originally most clubs, although not all, were for gentlemen. In 1929 the New Club passed the resolution that 'members may entertain ladies to dinner on the nights of the Club Ball'. From the 1960s ladies were admitted as associate members. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
