Gilmerton
Gilmerton ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Baile GhilleMhoire)) is a suburb of Edinburgh, about southeast of the city centre.
The toponym "Gilmerton" is derived from a combination of (スコットランド・ゲール語:Gille-Moire) – a personal name and later surname meaning "Servant of (Virgin ) Mary", from which comes the first element, "Gilmer", – and meaning "settlement" or "farmstead". Versions of the name are recorded from the middle of the 12th century.
Gilmerton used to be a coal mining village. Below its centre is a series of shallow linked caves collectively called Gilmerton Cove. Traditionally they were attributed to the work of a local blacksmith, George Paterson, who supposedly completed excavations in 1724 and lived in the caves for several years, although there may be reasons to doubt this.
