Welcome to the Morningside Heritage Association website. We exist to promote the study of the history of the Morningside area of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. Our ultimate aim is to provide a permanent locus for the preservation and study of information about the heritage of the area of Morningside.
We arrange monthly lectures on aspects of the heritage of Morningside and surrounding areas of Edinburgh. We are about to celebrate our 30th birthday.

Our monthly talks take place at 7 pm in The Old Schoolhouse, 140 Morningside Road by kind permission of The Old Schoolhouse Christian Fellowship. This location is convenient for local buses and has disabled access. In the Summer we arrange a number of visits to places of historical interest in the area. These are usually in the afternoon.
