Balgreen
Balgreen ( is a suburb of Edinburgh, located approximately two miles west of the city centre. It is located to the west of Murrayfield and Saughtonhall, to the east of Corstorphine, and to the north of Gorgie. It is bound to the north by Corstorphine Hill, to the west by Carrick Knowe Golf Course, and roughly to the east by Water of Leith. ==Etymology==
The name comes from Balgreen House once situated where Balgreen School now stands and is probably derived from Scottish Gaelic, perhaps being ''Baile na Grèine'' (Sunny Stead/Town) or most likely ''Baile Griain'' (Gravel Stead/Town) from the gravel on the riverbank, or perhaps from ''Baile Grianain ''(Stead/Town of the Sunny Enclosure). It does not, as some etymologies have suggested, come from "Ball Green". The Gaelic "Bal-" (Stead/Town) prefix can also be found in Balerno and is not unusual in the area. The placename Balgreen is also found near Murieston in West Lothian Lothian and in Ecclesmachan.
