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.
