Scope and Content Morningside United Church, 'Holy Corner', Morningside, Edinburgh Morningside United Church, one of four churches at 'Holy Corner', stands on the north corner of Chamberlain Road and Bruntsfield Place. Designed in an Early Christian Revival style in 1927 by James McLachlan, it replaced an earlier church built in 1863. The church, built in pinkish rough stone with a red pantiled roof, has a series of arcades along the side of Chamberlain Road, and an attractive small-scale campanile or bell-tower. In 1980 North Morningside Church and Morningside Congregational Church joined to form Morningside United Church, a unique union in which the congregation is both part of the Church of Scotland and part of the Congregational Union of Scotland.
