Liberton, Edinburgh
Liberton is a suburb of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It is in the south of the city, south of The Inch, east of the Braid Hills, north of Gracemount and west of Moredun.
==Derivation==
The name, of Old English origin and formerly written ''Libertun'',〔New Statistical Account of Scotland (Family History Library book 941 B4sa, series 2 vol. 1)〕 has generally been believed to signify 'Leper Town', the area being supposed at one time to have contained a small colony of lepers exiled from the city. However modern authorities have suggested it may more probably have meant ‘barley farm on a hillside’, from the Old English words ''hlith'', hillside and ''bere-tūn'', barley farm.〔A. D. MILLS. "Liberton." A Dictionary of British Place-Names. 2003.〕〔Ross, D.(2001)''Scottish Place-names'' Birlinn, Edinburgh p.141〕
