“When we came to view the house, every window we looked out of had green space surrounding it,” the owner recalls. “Out to the back of the property are Edinburgh Academy’s playing fields, so we are not overlooked by any other homes.

Drumearn is Edwardian, completed in 1903 by the architectural firm Sydney Mitchell and Wilson and it displays many of the design details of the era, such as the overhanging eaves and tall chimneys.
It was commissioned by the Reverend Arthur Gordon and his wife Olga.
Arthur came from an illustrious Scottish family.
His father, Baron Gordon of Drumearn, was a law lord whose portrait – a very unflattering likeness – is in a collection belonging to National Galleries Scotland.
His title presumably inspired the name of the house.
