 In terms of today's street names, the historic muir ("Scots" for 'moor') extended from Leven Street, Bruntsfield Place and Morningside Road in the west to Dalkeith Road in the east, and as far south as the Jordan Burn and east to Peffermill, thus covering a total area of approximately five square miles.The names of the historic roads that bounded it were the "Easter Hiegait", corresponding to Dalkeith Road and the "Wester Hiegait" corresponding to Bruntsfield Place and Morningside Road.The last surviving open space of the former burgh muir is Bruntsfield Links, a public park adjoining the Meadows to the north.
