HOLY CORNER
Holy Corner lies between the areas
of Bruntsfield and Morningside and is the informal
name given to the area where the junctions of Morningside
Road, Colinton Road and Chamberlain Road meet. As
there is a church
on each of the corners. although two of them are
set back slightly.)
Church Hill
is the small area to the south and includes the Church
Hill Theatre, formerly Morningside Free Church.
Beyond is Morningside, with the former parish church
(now part of Napier University)
The churches of Holy Corner
are: Christ Church (Scottish Episcopal Church),
Morningside United (Church of Scotland and United
Reformed Church) and Morningside Baptist Church
(Baptist Church). The latter moved some of its
Sunday services to the former Braid Church (Church
of Scotland) building further south in Morningside
in 2006, to cope with increased space requirements,
but intends to keep the Holy Corner building.
The
fourth of the churches has been turned into the Eric
Liddell centre (ELC).
