EDINBURGH — Tucked into the quiet residential streets of Morningside, the Eric Liddell Community stands at a crossroads locals call Holy Corner. The former church, a fine example of Victorian architecture that blends seamlessly with its surroundings, is now a community care center and charity.

Today, it houses exhibitions, records and memorabilia of the Olympic gold medalist and former prisoner of war during the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).
