The West of Scotland Magazine and Review
Copies of the magazine seem to be rare, so although this is the cover of the January 1857 issue, and not edited by Buchanan, I thought it was still worth adding here.

This photograph accompanied Buchanan’s contribution to the ‘My First Book’ feature in The Idler of May 1893. The article (available on this site) also included several photos of the interior of the house. The larger version of the photo below makes it easier to make out Buchanan’s mother standing on his right, and Harriett Jay seated on his left.

And here’s the house courtesy of google - pity about the tree.

I visited Maresfield Gardens in 2024 and took some more photos, which are available here.
