Robert Morham

His work in parks is also noteworthy including one of the world's best known public spaces, Princes Street Gardens.

This included negotiations for the widening of Princes Street and the placing of a great number of statues along the edge of the park facing that road.

He was the son of Robert Morham (1812-1889) Depute City Clerk, and his wife Janet Aird (1808-1883), who lived at 13 Lauder Road, which remained his home for all his life.

He is buried with his parents and wife, Ann Isabella Cunningham, in Morningside Cemetery, Edinburgh west of his family home.

[1] Most of Morham's works constitute "public buildings" and mainly still survive, contributing greatly to the character of the city.
