Scope and Content Woodburn House, No 54 Canaan Lane, Morningside, Edinburgh Woodburn House, built in 1812, stands on the south side of Canaan Lane, a narrow lane running east from Morningside Road. It was one of several villas built c.1803 in the 'land of Canaan', the 'most pleasant of the Morningside estates'. The house has a prominent entrance portico with Roman Doric columns, and an apsed south-facing side with an elegant iron balcony overlooking lawns and wooded grounds that stretch down to the Jordan Burn. The 'land of Canaan' covered 65 acres from Newbattle Terrace in the north to the Jordan Burn in the south. This rural area of meadows, orchards and gardens was the largest of the estates on which Morningside was gradually to develop. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
