Wildflower Meadow

The wildflower meadow is located near the Braid Road entrance to the reserve, behind the old toll house, between the burn and the houses in Hermitage Drive.

The toll house (now the Lodge Coffee House) used to be at the boundary of the City of Edinburgh, on the site of the Braid Church in Morningside. When tolls to enter the city were abolished in 1888, the house was rebuilt on its current site. Look for the number 259 on the lintel at the back of the house.
