"The real etymology of Liberton formerly written Libertun is Somewhat doubtful although it is obviously of saxon origin. Most probably the name is a corruption of Leperton and arose from the circumstance that an hospital for the sick of Edinburgh was situated at or near it altho [although] all traces of such an institution have long vanished. This supposition derives probability both from the elevated, dry, and very healthy nature of the whole district quite near to & overlooKing the city of Edinburgh, and from the lands of Liberton being called in certain old writings the lands of Spital-town - Spital being synonymous with hospital in our old language".

Parish of Duddingston
"The name of this parish was written in the charters of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Dodinestun being evidently derived from the settlement here of a person designed Dodin whose (tun Sax.) or town it was during the reigns of David I. and Malcolm IV. This fact is established by a charter of William de Vetere Ponte granted to the canons of Holyrood to which Hugo Filius Dodini de Dodinestun appears to have been a witness"
