An attractive, little-altered inn occupying a prominent position at the centre of Newcastleton and making a positive contribution to the streetscape. It appears as The Grapes Inn on Ordnance Survey maps from the first edition onwards. Newcastleton was laid out from 1793 by Henry, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch, to his own plan, as a centre for handloom weaving.
