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.
"Falcon Hall once stood in this vicinity. Built in 1780 and originally called Morningside Lodge, it was bought and refurbished in 1814 by Alexander Falconer, who renamed it Falcon Hall. When demolished in 1909, the falcons on the entrance gate were removed to a house in Corstorphine which later became Edinburgh Zoo. The front facade was rebuilt in Duncan Street and became the front facade of Barholomew's and Sons, mapmakers".
