Officers carried out searches of three properties in Loganlea Avenue, Lochend Gardens and Barronscourt Road yesterday and seized over eight ounces of diamorphine with an estimated value of £25,000.
Three litres of methadone valued at £300 were also recovered.
The men aged 44 and 37 are scheduled to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today.
