Although Bruntsfield House has recently been renovated to very high standards, and is now available to rent as luxury apartments, it's long and interesting history is entwined in the history of Edinburgh and the Lothians.

The original name for this area of Edinburgh was "Brounysfelde" or Brown's Fields, apparently after an early proprietor. A note in the Great Seal of Scotland, 1306 -1424, records a 1381 charter from the reign of King Robert 11 granting to William Lauder the lands of "Burrowmure in Edinburghshire", which had previously belonged to Richard Broun of Boroumore. It appears from subsequent charters that the Lauder family acquired "Bruntisfield" at about the same time. Sir Alexander Lauder of Blyth, Provost of Edinburgh, acquired from his father, Sir Alexander Lauder of Haltoun, in August 1497 "the lands of Brounisfeld, with the manor-house and gardens, park, herbarium, etc., except for one perticate of land at the east end, adjoining the ditch therefo, in the common muir of Edinburgh." Historians state that "Bruntsfield Manor", or as it is known today, Bruntsfield House, had been the dower house of each successive bride of the Lauders of Haltoun for 226 years. In 1603 Sir Alexander Lauder sold it to John Fairlie, who carried out extensive work to the original building, which is incorporated in the present mansion. His great-grandson, William Fairlie of Brounsfield, was still in possession after the reign of Mary Queen of Scots. He sold Brounisfield to George Warrender of Lochend (then Baillie and afterwards Lord Provost of Edinburgh) in July 1695, and that family was still in possession in 1900, having laid out much of their Bruntsfield estate for tenements, from the late 1850s. Bruntsfield House was categorised as a Listed Building by Historic Scotland in the early days of that organisation.

Now, in the 21st century, the Bruntsfield district of Edinburgh offers a variety of exceptional amenities, fine bars, bistros & restaurants. The area also offers both private & local authority primary / secondary schooling and is within easy reach of the City Bypass & motorways.

In 2008, the property was converted into 6 unique apartments.
