When the new owners purchased the property for Dunstane City Hotel, little did they know that they were, at the same time, reinstating a historical connection between the property and Dunstane House.

It appears that in around 1867 one Archibald Shearer, a music seller in Edinburgh who was living at Dunstane House at the time, “erected a house or villa (now known as Number Five Hampton Terrace) agreeable to the plan approved of by the Feoffers of Trust and Governors of George Heriot's Hospital.” History has now come full circle, as the link between Dunstane House at 4 West Coates and Dunstane City at 5 Hampton Terrace is revived.
