Scope and Content Hopefield Cottage, No 17 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. Hopefield Cottage, built in 1851, stands in a walled garden facing Chamberlain Road, and is one of the few houses in the street to retain its original name. The front wall, built out from the roofline, is topped by a long balustraded balcony. Hopefield Cottage was built for the preacher and writer on religious subjects, Dr John Kirk. Famed for his leadership of the Evangelical Union, he held open-air services on Bruntsfield Links, and was a fervent promoter of the abstinence movement. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
