The White Hart is one of the surviving inns on the north side of the Grassmarket; those on the opposite side having entirely disappeared over time. Most of the building dates from the 18th century, though its cellars are considerably older. In her book, "A Tour of Scotland in 1803", Dorothy Wordsworth relates how she and her brother William took rooms here, describing it as "not noisy, and tolerably cheap".
