In our latest look back at life in Edinburgh areas over the years, this week we focus on Blackford.
Located near Morningside, and The Grange, Blackford Hill dominates the view to the south. The majority of Blackford is now housing, mostly dating from the Victorian or Edwardian eras.
The local parish church of the Church of Scotland is the Reid Memorial Church, which was opened in 1935. The area is home to the University of Edinburgh campus of King's Buildings, and the Royal Observatory Edinburgh.
We searched through our archives to find these great photos of life in Blackford over the years, showing changes in the area and what locals have got up to.
