The 10 most Morningside things that have ever happened in Morningside

The home of Miss Jean Brodie and Maisie the Cat, Edinburgh’s south side tends to have a reputation for being a wee bit posh and expensive.

When it comes to supermarkets there are only three choices in Morningside – Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s which means that a quick, late night trip for a bar of chocolate somehow turns into a splurge on vol-au-vents and Waitrose essential's tinned artichoke hearts.

In the words of Isma Almas at the Stand:

“Have you been down to Morningside? It’s very pretentious, I mean I wouldn’t say that Morningside was pretentious but the ice cream van plays Rachmaninov.”

We jest - Morningside is one of Edinburgh's most incredible neighbourhoods with the Dominion Cinema, its plethora of delis, Wild West replica street and rich history.

For now, however, here are the most Morningside things that have ever happened in Morningside.

1. This absolute household essential.

2. This ill-thought out corner shop request

3. When kids favourites didn't include chicken nuggets and chips.

4. Because pumpkins are overrated.

5. When the streets are abandoned it means only one thing.

6. When there's not a meal deal in sight.

7. These cheesy political puns at a deli.

8. Because it's only fair.

9. When Barbie had better clothes than us.

10. This potentially terrifying encounter.
