The cellar is the original "Milnes". In 1910 the company Lomond and
Milne opened a spirit merchants in the cellars here. By the mid 1900s this had
become a pub known as Daddy Milnes. It also became
the meeting place for key Scottish literary figures
of the day.

In more recent times the upper floor of Milnes, the ground floor
level entered from Rose Street, has been added. The result is a much larger
establishment than before.
