Situated in the heart of historic Edinburgh, this is a category A listed
Georgian terraced town mansion in the very centre of the UNESCO designated
World Heritage Architectural site. This classical home is in a quiet
residential street just off Dundas Street - alive with art galleries,
delicatessens, restaurants and individual shops.
The house is arranged over four floors reached by a flying stone staircase
lit by a fine oval cupola. The house was built in 1812 by one Francis
Napier, a lawyer and direct descendant of the famous inventor, mathematician
and occultist John Napier of Merchiston (1550-1617). Napier devised
the first system of logarithms and the world's first computer, a series
of numbered rods called 'Napier's Bones'.
David Ingram is renowned as a former antiques dealer particularly knowledgeable
in Georgian furniture. He has lectured extensively on antiques and also
on the history of Edinburgh. Both David and Theresa enjoy sharing their
extensive local knowledge with guests to ensure that individual specialist
interests are catered for and also to recommend the best places to dine
out in the vicinity.
