26 great Edinburgh photos of life in Morningside over the years including rock star's first stage appearance

In our latest retro look at photos of Edinburgh areas, this week we look back at life in Morningside over the years.

Among the great photos in our archives, we found a photo of Edinburgh rock star Shirley Manson making her stage debut as a child, and a dramatic car crash in the area.

There are also great shots showing how the area has changed over the years, as well as a post office celebrating after it escaped closure, and the changing fortunes of the local railway station.

See our photo gallery below for more great Morningside memories from our archives.
