=== War graves ===
The cemetery is an official [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_War_Graves_Commission Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery] containing 48 memorials from World War I and 32 from World War II. The dead largely represent those dying of wounds following repatriation, linking to the nearby City Hospital. The Cross of Remembrance stands in the north-east section of the cemetery.
Unusually two war graves are of female victims (both from the ATS): Margaret White Walker (1922-1945) and Jean Dewar Scougall (1921-1943).<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morningside_Cemetery,_Edinburgh Morningside Cemetery (Wikipedia)]</ref>
== Morningside ==
'''Morningside''' is a district and former village in the south west of [[Edinburgh]], [[Region: Scotland|Scotland]]. It lies alongside the main arterial Morningside Road, part of an ancient route from Edinburgh to the south west of Scotland. The original village served several farms and estates in the area. In the 19th century, it developed as a residential suburb, its growth being stimulated by the arrival of a railway service and other transport improvements.
Morningside is located approximately 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) south of Edinburgh's city centre. It is bordered by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruntsfield Bruntsfield] to the north, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grange,_Edinburgh Grange] to the north east, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackford,_Edinburgh Blackford] to the east, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiston Comiston] to the south, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenbank,_Edinburgh Greenbank] to the south west, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchiston Merchiston] to the north west. It includes Braidburn Valley Park, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Edinburgh_Hospital Royal Edinburgh Hospital] and parts of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_Hills Braid Hills] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackford_Hill Blackford Hill].
The district is bisected by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A702_road A702 road], which forms part of an ancient route from Edinburgh to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggar,_South_Lanarkshire Biggar] and the south west of Scotland.
