Thank you to Jimmy Cunningham, Gracemount Edinburgh for
allowing me to reproduce this photograph of the Belvedere in the
grounds of Morton House, about 3/4 mile SE of Fairmilehead.
Morton House was built in the early 18th century. It lies
between Frogston Road West and the City of Edinburgh Bypass, and
is approached from Winton Loan. The Belvedere, also built in
the early 18th century, lies close to Morton House, to the SE of
the house.

"This seem to be an
old folly the family used, to take in the views across Midlothian
and Fife"
