Have you heard of Edinburgh’s haar? —the cold sea fog that drapes the city with mystery. The haar, most common on the east coast between April and September, creates a dramatic backdrop as warm air meets the cold North Sea.

While the misty weather makes many want to cosy up in our Library. 📚☁️, we encourage you to step out and capture the beauty of Edinburgh shrouded in fog. It’s a sight worth capturing through your lens! 📸

Welcome to Drumsheugh Gardens …

History lovers - this is for you!
Edinburgh’s original New Town was constructed in the Georgian style between 1767 and 1820, and buildings constructed in the 1830's onwards were generally regarded as 'the Victorian Extension.’

Drumsheugh Gardens, named after the Earl of Moray's home, Drumsheugh, was originally at what is today the junction of Great Stuart Street and Randolph Crescent. At the time of its construction, it would have been surrounded by 5 acres of parkland.

One of the questions we’re asked most frequently is, “How far are you from Edinburgh’s city centre?”

This photograph shows our beautiful location, Drumsheugh Gardens, with Edinburgh Castle standing majestically in the background 🏰

Edinburgh’s main Princes Street is only a 10 min walk from The Bonham, while a stroll to the castle will take around 30 minutes.
