Scope and Content 18th-century engraving of Bellevue House and grounds, now Drummond Place, Edinburgh Bellevue House, built by Robert Adam c.1775, stood in open countryside to the north-east of Edinburgh. In the early 19th century, the house became part of Drummond Place when the northern New Town was built on the north side of the city. This elegant two-storeyed house, with its entrance portico facing east, stood in five acres of parkland. In 1797 the land was acquired by the city, and the house, with an extra storey added, became the Excise Office. It was demolished in 1845. The northern New Town has a central axis, Great King Street, connecting Royal Circus in the west to Drummond Place in the east. The gardens of Drummond Place enclosed Bellevue House, which had been used to fix the eastern end of the central axis. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
