Scope and Content Early 19th-century view of Bellevue House, 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. Bellevue House, built by Robert Adam c.1775, was enclosed by the railings of the gardens of the square. It became the Excise Office in 1797, but was demolished in 1845 when the Scotland Street railway tunnel was driven beneath it. Bellevue House was built on the site of Drummond Lodge which was, from 1757-66, the home of George Drummond, six times Lord Provost, and the man who promoted the improvement of the city, and set in motion the building of the first New Town.
