Drum Farm Antiques - Edinburgh

I love this place. There are so many hidden gems. You can spend ages browsing.

A big thank you to Alan, who sourced and delivered mirrors I really wanted.
Gary is always so friendly and helpful anytime I have popped in.

They say “buy and sell”, but use the word buy very loosely. I had a storage unit full of gorgeous antique furniture that belonged to my late mother. Sadly, I don’t have the room, but have managed to keep a few things. I was put onto Drum Farm for larger items as they may be interested in buying it from me. I would’ve been happy to donate it, but after interacting with Alan McDougall, Drum Farm is the last place I wanted it to go.
I got in touch, Alan replied and said he’d be interested in buying some of it and would happily take the rest on the understanding he wouldn’t buy everything, but it would go to a good home. Great. I offered a fair price, he very abruptly said “no thank you” so I told him to name a price. I was completely ignored after this. I truly believe he was taking advantage of my situation in needing it gone by the end of the week in the hopes I would just give him the whole lot for free. Common decency completely out the window. I’ve since heard this is common practice with Drum Farm, so I can’t emphasise enough, if you have the time to sell any old/antique furniture, go ANYWHERE else. Best donating to a charity, which I’ve chosen to do instead, even if it’s caused even more stress. If Alan can’t even have the common decency to reply to a text message, he doesn’t deserve your furniture.

Treasures everywhere! It was my first visit recently and I came away with a load of lovely bits. It's laid out really well so you can honestly on if there is something in particular you're looking for or simply browse. Added to the list of antique spots and will definitely be back.

Miserable condescending man on the phone. Would not buy from this place or even entertain them. Phoned up to clarify a delivery price and was met with snarky rude comments insinuating that I was being cheap and trying to catch him out. The man has no patience or manners

So much cool stuff to look at! Organized pretty well and lots of fun to explore!!

Not been for a wee while and out quick half an hour turned into the rest of the afternoon. Lots of very interesting stuff and well priced. Came back with some weird and wonderful items. It's a relaxed atmosphere, you need to have a good nose round but well worth a visit 👌🏻

Huge display of “antiques” and bric a brac for furnishing any project. Almost too much stuff available.

Great place for various items, but most of it is over priced in my opinion. Great place for rummaging for vinyl though!
