Scope and Content End pavilion, Drummond Place, Edinburgh Drummond Place, a U-shaped tree-filled square at the east end of Great King Street, was named after the 18th-century Lord Provost of Edinburgh, George Drummond. Built 1806-23, it forms one of the two great balancing squares of the northern New Town. Drummond Place was built as a series of symmetrical blocks by Robert Reid, with later revisions by Thomas Bonnar in 1817-18. Each end pavilion has, like Great King Street, Robert Reid's characteristic semicircular or thermal window in the attic storey. Robert Reid drew up the plans for the square in 1804. No 1, the first house to be built (1806-7), fixed the design for the end pavilions, and was the only house built under his and William Sibbald's direction. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
