The Burgh Muir is the historic term for an extensive area of land lying to the south of Edinburgh city centre, upon which much of the southern part of the city now stands following its gradual spread and more especially its rapid expansion in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The name has been retained today in the partly anglicised form Boroughmuir for a much smaller district within Bruntsfield, vaguely defined by the presence of Boroughmuir High School, and, until 2010, Boroughmuirhead Post Office in its north-west corner. The older form of the name is also retained by a street between Church Hill and Holy Corner in Morningside which recalls the vanished hamlet of Burghmuirhead. The post office has moved from the location it occupied for over a century to nearby Bruntsfield Place, thus losing its association with Boroughmuirhead.
