Founded in 1982, the purposes of Morningside Heritage Association are the advancement of arts, heritage and culture of Morningside by collecting, conserving, preserving, collating and displaying historical materials, including oral reminiscence, relating to the area's past. We do this by offering a programme of monthly lectures between October and May each year, and a series of visits between May and September. We also undertake projects relating to specific aspects of the history of Morningside and have published two volumes of oral reminiscence. We are a registered Scottish charity (charity number SC044409).
