Morningside Cemetery is a cemetery in south Edinburgh. It was established in 1878 by the Metropolitan Cemetery Company,[citation needed] originally just outwith the then city boundary, the nearest suburb then being Morningside. It extends to just over 13 acres in area.[1] The cemetery contains 81 war graves.[2] Although arguably visually uninspiring the cemetery contains the graves of several important female figures; including a female air commandant, Scotland's first female surgeon, the first female Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and many church missionaries. Sir Edward Victor Appleton GBEKCB FRS (6 September 1892 – 21 April 1965) who was an English physicist, Nobel Prize winner (1947) and pioneer in radiophysics is also buried here.
