Currie
Currie ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Currach)) is a suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland, situated 7 miles south west of the city centre. A former village within the County of Midlothian, it lies to the south west of the city, between Juniper Green (NE) and Balerno (SW) on the Lanark Road. Administratively, Currie falls within the jurisdiction of the City of Edinburgh Council. It gives its name to a civil parish.
In 2001 the population of Currie was 8,550 and it contained 3,454 houses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Currie Community Council )〕
== Etymology ==
There is no accepted derivation of the name Currie but it is possibly from the Scottish Gaelic word ''curagh/curragh'', a wet or boggy plain, or from the Brythonic word ''curi'', a dell or hollow. The neighbouring suburb of Balerno derives its name from Scottish Gaelic, whilst the nearby Pentland Hills derive their name from Brythonic, so either is possible.
