Mortonhall

Mortonhall is an area of Edinburgh, Scotland, on the south edge of the city.

The area is along the western end of the Frogston Road between Fairmilehead and Gilmerton; it is just to the south of Liberton and the Braid Hills.

The area was the estate of Mortonhall House, a fine country mansion house of 1769, with an exceptional interior , thought to be designed by the Edinburgh architect, John Baxter. This has since been converted into offices and flats. The stable range (now a bar) dates from around 1780 and is also particularly fine, including an intact cobbled courtyard. The immediate grounds of the Hall contain a caravan site and a garden centre. To the north, the land has been developed as Mortonhall Golf Club; to the east, there is a 1970s housing estate. The land to the south, on the far side of Frogston Road, is mostly farmland.
