  • In 1901 bouwde Henry Willis een tweeklaviers orgel met 14 stemmen voor Saint Matthew Church in Edinburgh-Morningside. Het orgel was voorbereid om te worden uitgebouwd tot een drieklaviers orgel met 28 stemmen. Rushworth & Dreaper voerden in 1929 deze verbouwing uit, maar zij wijzigden nog meer. Het orgel had nu 32 stemmen. De gemeente is in 1974 gefuseerd met de South Morningside Parish Church. Het kerkgebouw kreeg nu de naam Cluny Parish Church. In 1980 is het orgel gerestaureerd door Rushworth & Dreaper. In mei 1980 werd het orgel weer in gebruik genomen met een concert door Noel Rawsthorne. Het kerkgebouw wordt tegenwoordig Morningside Parish Church genoemd.
  • Het orgel is in 2004 door Harrison & Harrison gerestaureerd, onder advies van David Sanger. De elektro-pneumatische tractuur werd vernieuwd, de dispositie gewijzigd zodat grotendeels de situatie van 1929 is hersteld.
