Scope and Content Nos 12 and 14 Greenhill Gardens, Morningside, Edinburgh The area of Greenhill Gardens, a narrow tree-lined street running from Bruntsfield Terrace to Chamberlain Road, was first feued for building in 1840. It was the old road through the Greenhill estate, and retains much of the secluded charm of bygone days. No 14, built c.1849, retains much of its Georgian charm with its elegant pilastered doorpiece and semicircular fanlight, and iron balcony running the length of the upper storey. Its twin at No 12 is much altered with a Victorian bay window addition. The 'lands of Greenhill', one of several large rural estates that encircled the old village of Morningside, was first mentioned in historical records in 1586. Its 17th-century mansion house, Greenhill House, stood to the north of Chamberlain Road. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
