About

Morningside ward is a residential area in southwest Edinburgh, situated between Bruntsfield and Blackford Hill. The district is centred along Morningside Road, which functions as its main commercial thoroughfare. Housing is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian tenement flats and detached stone villas. The area is served by several local bus routes providing connections to the city centre.

The ward includes the eastern slopes of the Braid Hills, offering accessible green space and walking paths. A notable local institution is the Church Hill Theatre, a former church converted into a community performance venue. Morningside Park and the nearby Astley Ainslie Hospital grounds provide additional recreational areas within this established neighbourhood.
