The house was in fact built as a studio for the artist Charles Martin Hardie and was designed by George Washington Browne who was keen to ensure a sweeping vista over Dean Village and the Water of Leith.
According to Canmore the words 'Drumsheugh Toll' can be found on the front door, however the old toll house which stood on the site was demolished in the 19th century.
