Edinburgh and Scottish Collection

Morningside was once a village on a main road south from Edinburgh. In the 1850s it was no more than a row of thatched houses and a blacksmith's forge and beyond the Jordan Burn was open countryside. Nowadays it is predominantly residential with a collection of small traditional shops, restaurants, supermarkets, a library and hospitals.

"On the wall above number 202 Morningside Road, you can see a plaque marking Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee 1837-1897."
