The school built in 1823 for the children of Morningside, Swanston, Fairmilehead and Lothianburn. It was also used until 1837 as the village church until the Morningside Parish Church was built. The school was soon not big enough to support the growing population and closed in 1892. It has been used once again as a place of worship since 1900.
Morningside is a residential district in the south of Edinburgh. It lies to the south of Bruntsfield and the west of the Grange and Blackford Hill.
