About Burgh Muir
Burgh Muir is the historic term for an extensive area of land lying to the south of Edinburgh city centre. The historic muir (Scots for ‘moor’) extended from Leven Street, Bruntsfield Place and Morningside Road to Dalkeith Road in the east to Peffermill. The name has been retained today in the partly anglicised form Boroughmuir for a much smaller district.
