About Morningside
- Morningside's reputation for genteel respectability has made it the subject of affectionate satire in Scottish culture for well over a century. The distinctive "Morningside accent" — a refined Edinburgh pronunciation associated with the neighbourhood's middle-class residents — has been the subject of linguistic study and is instantly recognisable to Scots across the country.
- The Royal Edinburgh Hospital, located in Morningside, is one of Scotland's principal psychiatric hospitals and has been providing mental health services since 1813. The hospital's grounds include a museum of the history of psychiatry in Scotland, and the institution has played a significant role in the development of mental health care across the country.
- Bruntsfield Links, which borders Morningside, is one of the oldest golf courses in the world and one of the few remaining areas of common land in Edinburgh.
