About us

Two founders, backed by a trusted professional team.

Morningside Land is the land promotion business of Morningside Real Estate Group Ltd, founded in 2018 by Johnny Lovett and Scott Macdonald. We work with private owners whose gardens and plots have the potential for new homes, and we take the planning risk so that they do not have to.
