Drumsheugh Baths Club

[1] Ahead of its opening in 1884 architect Sir John James Burnett was commissioned to design a building on a steeply sloping north facing site in Belford Road, formerly old Queensferry Road.

[2][3] The baths are reported as having a "deeply shadowed entrance" under a "low-pitch stone bracketed roof" with "slender Moorish-style columns and arches visible throughout".

The 70 ft main pool area is under an "exposed timber roof", with a "mezzanine gallery on the eastern side".

[4][5] When it first opened in the 1880s, the company's shareholders are reported as including "office clerks, city merchants, spinsters, advocates, doctors, stockbrokers, and soldiers".

[5] A number of the baths' original features have been retained, including rings and trapezes above the main pool.
