Eddleston
Eddleston ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Baile Ghille Mhoire)) is a small village and civil parish in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. It lies north of Peebles and south of Penicuik on the A703, which passes through the centre of the village. Nearby is the Great Polish Map of Scotland, a large terrain map. The Eddleston Water runs through the village.
According to the 2001 census, there were 129 households, with a population of 335 people, 47% male and 53% female. Eddleston contains a few farms outside of the village centre. Barony Castle (also known by its earlier name of Black Barony), in the village, dates back to the 16th century, and was the property of the Murray Baronets, as was nearby Cringletie, which is now a hotel.
==Etymology==
Eddleston's earliest recorded name was ''Penteiacob'', in Old Welsh or Brittonic, and meant "headland of James's house". The Anglo-Gaelic of ''Gillemorestun'' of the 12th century AD meant "town of St Mary's lad", and gave rise to the current Gaelic name for the village, ''Baile Ghille Mhoire''. It became ''Edulfstun'' in 1189 when it was granted to Edulf, son of Utred. This became ''Edoluestone'' (circa 1200) and ''Edwylstone'' (circa 1305), and was eventually fully Anglicised to Eddleston by the 14th century.
