Couple of corrections. In an earlier post you talk about "Clermiston Hill". It is in fact referred to as "Corstorphine Hill". The Friends site has a website here -

Secondly, the "Roseline" derivation of Roslin is almost certainly BS. It is a Celtic name, either Brythonic (i.e. related to Cornish, Breton and Welsh) or Goidelic (related to Scottish and Irish Gaelic). Contrary to common belief, there are in fact a number of Gaelic placenames in the Lothians, so the latter is not out of the question.
Yes, I am aware that it is known as Corstorphine Hill, just a bit of slackness on my part. Although it is as much Clermiston, too. I forget the gentlemans name who constructed the Tower, but he was 'of Clermiston'. I have a photo of the plaque dedicating the tower to the memory of Sir Walter Scott, which I shall post sometime.
And of course the wild notes of Bonnie Dundee died away over Ravelston's crags and Clermiston's lea.
I will be doing a section on the hill, photos taken there over a number of years.
Thanks for the Corrie Hill link.
The term 'Roseline' I have never associated with being derived from Roslin, or the other way round. That it runs through Roslin Chapel is to me co-incidental. Others have made much of it, not me.
Another term I know is the Tavhara line, but that is for another day.
