About Former Cross Keys Hotel

Built in 1804 as a coaching inn, the door on the right was the carriage pend. The hotel was a popular venue for official balls and banquets. It was the Earl of Dalkeith’s Conservative HQ in the 1880 election in his losing campaign to Gladstone. After the election a rioting mob attacked the building and smashed the windows. Politics in Dalkeith are taken seriously!
