Morningside is a district in the south west of Edinburgh, Scotland, which centres on Morningside Road, an ancient route from the city to the south west of Scotland and Carlisle. It lies south of Bruntsfield, Burghmuirhead (including Holy Corner, Church Hill, and Greenhill); south-west of Marchmont, and south-east of Merchiston; and to the north of Comiston and the Braid Hills. == Landmark structures == Morningside landmarks include the Morningside Clock, originally in the middle of the roadway as the clock for Morningside Station (part of the suburban railway line); the elaborately decorated ''Canny Man's'' pub (formerly ''The Volunteer's Arms'') on the corner of Canaan Lane; and the ''Bore Stane'', an ancient monument, reputedly used by Bonnie Prince Charlie to raise his standard on at the battle of Culloden (1746), adjacent to the former Parish Church. Also of note is the Streamline Moderne Dominion Cinema on Newbattle Terrace. The Eric Liddell Centre, a local charity, named after the 1924 Olympic 400m gold medalist athlete, Eric Liddell, immortalised in the 1981 Oscar Award-winning film "Chariots of Fire" is situated in Morningside in the former North Morningside Parish Church at Holy Corner. The Church Hill Theatre sits at the top of the hill above Holy Corner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morningside, Edinburgh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
