Scope and Content No 11 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 11, built c.1849, stands in a pretty garden on the west side of the street. The house, of rough stone and with a centrepiece set forward from the rest of the building, has windows glazed with horizontal or 'lying' panes of glass. In 1806, the Greenhill estate and mansion house were bought by William Forbes of Pitsligo, son of the eminent Edinburgh banker, Sir William Forbes. The house, Greenhill House, stood to the west of Greenhill Gardens, and was demolished in 1884. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
