Gorgie
Gorgie ( ) is a densely populated area of west Edinburgh, Scotland, located near Murrayfield, Ardmillan and Dalry. ==Name== The name is thought to be Brythonic in origin. Early forms suggest it derives from ''gor gyn'' – upper wedge – which may refer to the tapering shape of the land between the Water of Leith and the Craiglockhart hills. An alternative derivation is 'big field' from Cumbric (Brythonic) ''gor cyn''.〔Ross, David (2001) ''Scottish Place-names'', Birlinn, Edinburgh ISBN 1-84158-173-9〕
