The New Club is a private social club in the New Town area of Edinburgh, Scotland. Founded in 1787 as a gentlemen's club, it is Scotland's oldest private member's club. The club occupied premises on St Andrew Square from 1809 until 1837, when it moved to purpose-built rooms on Princes Street. The Princes Street building is now occupied by Debenhams and has been replaced with a modern building to designs by Reiach and Hall, which is protected as a category A listed building. Ladies were admitted in 1970, and offered full membership from 2010. HRH The Prince Philip has been the Patron of the Club since 1952. The only stated requirements for membership are that a candidate is over 18 and is "clubbable".
