About this location
Drylaw House is a four-floor country house in Drylaw, the residential area of north-west Edinburgh between Blackhall and Pilton. With 8 bathrooms across four floors, the house provides the kind of multi-room, multi-floor domestic environment that period or contemporary drama requires — the full range of interior spaces that single-floor studio houses cannot replicate. At 40-person capacity the house can accommodate a full production crew on the floor. The £3,000/day rate is substantial but appropriate for a four-floor country house in Edinburgh, and is notably lower than comparable full-house hire rates in comparable Scottish country properties. Drylaw’s north-west Edinburgh location gives a residential suburban exterior — detached houses, mature gardens — that reads differently from the Old Town tenements or the New Town Georgian terraces.
