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.
