Mortonhall

The area is along the western end of the Frogston Road between Fairmilehead and Gilmerton; it is just to the south of Liberton and the Braid Hills.

It is thought to be designed by the Edinburgh architect, John Baxter, with interior work added by Thomas Bonnar.

This is smaller and less ornate but still impressive, sitting in a small group of historic properties all originally connected to the estate.

[2] The area is perhaps best known for the Mortonhall Crematorium, designed by Sir Basil Spence, which is considered to be an outstanding example of Scottish modern architecture.

The large expanse of open ground to the west acts as a Cemetery, but owing to a policy of all stones having to be laid flat, it has a rather sterile appearance.
