Scope and Content Nos 129-131 Princes Street, Edinburgh Princes Street was originally the south-facing terrace of James Craig's New Town. From the 1830s, Victorian reconstruction transformed the street into Edinburgh's principal thoroughfare of hotels, department stores, shops, offices and clubs. Vestiges of the original 18th-century houses, with Ionic pilasters, can be seen above the ground-floor shops. The Victorian shop, with its tall door and long, gracefully arched windows, was built out over the basement area in 1866. The Victorian shop front was formed from the original house by paving over the sunk basement area, and lowering the ground floor of the house to the same level, thus producing a very lofty shop.
