White Hart Inn

Located in the Grassmarket of Edinburgh, the White Hart Inn first welcomed travellers in the early 18th Century and claims to be the oldest public house in Edinburgh. Robert Burns (1759-96) stayed here in 1791 during his last trip to Edinburgh and it was also visited by the Wordsworths in 1803. The building exhibits wallhead gables to the front and semi-octagonal stair towers to the rear.
