What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Morningside, Hermitage of Braid as Villa (18th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Hermitage of Braid is traditionally associated with Saint Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and hermit believed to have lived in the area, though the site itself is a later 18th-century villa. Local tradition holds that Saint Fillan founded a hermitage there and was known for healing and spiritual guidance, though no specific cures or rituals are well documented.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
