Morningside (Edinburgh ward)

May 02, 2024

Morningside is one of the seventeen wards used to elect members of the City of Edinburgh Council.[2] Established in 2007 along with the other wards, it elects four Councillors. As its name suggests, the ward's territory is based around the community of Morningside to the south of the city centre, also including Braid Hills, Bruntsfield, Burghmuirhead (Church Hill and Holy Corner), Greenbank, Greenhill, Marchmont, Merchiston and Polwarth.

Location of the ward within Edinburgh[1]

A minor 2017 boundary change in the north of the ward saw the loss of the densely-populated Tollcross neighbourhood, but the overall population increased slightly due to housebuilding in other areas. At that time, the ward's name was also amended from its original title of Morningside/Meadows – the well-known Meadows park area to which this referred had never been fully within its boundaries. In 2021, the ward had a population of 31,379.[3]
