Old travel Blog photograph of South Morningside, Edinburgh, Scotland. Morningside Road was an ancient route from the city to the south west of Scotland and Carlisle. By one definition, Morningside was formerly home to the author J. K. Rowling, writer of the Harry Potter series of books. However, her house in Abbotsford Crescent was, strictly speaking, in the Merchiston area bordering Morningside to the north. The house, which stands close to the homes of fellow authors Alexander McCall Smith and Ian Rankin, was sold in November 2012.
