Scope and Content Wine Merchant's sign, No 101 Hanover Street, Edinburgh Hanover Street, one of the streets running north to south in James Craig's New Town, was first feued in 1784, and after a slow start, building was finished in the street by 1790, mostly with main door and common stair tenements in droved ashlar. The ground floor of the building at No 101 was given a shop frontage of nine arches c.1830. The wine merchant's sign dates from 1805. Fine French wines and claret were regularly imported into Scotland at the port of Leith from the 16th century. In 1780, when the duty-free status of claret ended, it became the fashionable drink of the wealthy residents of the New Town. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
