Location: Howden Hall Road, Mortonhall, south Edinburgh
Assortment of white Corbusian buildings in rolling parkland setting: the crystalline chapel's interior feels Scandinavian.
The extensive Crematorium grounds are landscaped quite simply with a large cross on the hillock to the west and with the Stenhouse Burn flowing from the Mortonhall Estate through the Mortonhall Cemetery.
The Extension at Morton Hall Crematorium for Edinburgh District Council is by Forgan and Stewart Architects, Edinburgh.
