Mr. Robt. [Robert] Palmer Schoolmaster Currie
Map of Edinburgh Shire

&c. &c. |
005 |
Six miles distant from Edinburgh and on the road to Lanark stands the village of Currie, it consists of the Parish Church, and school, a manse, two large farm houses with offices and a thrashing machine attached to each, and about 50 Cottages occupied by farm labourers, and operatives who are employed in the paper mills in the vicinity.
The "Water of Leith" runs through it; that part on the south is on the land of Malleny, that on the north is on the land of Riccarton.
Currie is said to be very ancient, it is supposed to be the "Koria" of Ptolemy and Richard of Cirencester, but although this may be the case the name is still of Celtic derivation, being from the word "Cuere" or Corrie signifying a hollow place, the village lying in such a situation on the Water of Leith. |

LENNOX TOWER |
|

005 |
This tower is said to have been at one time the property of the Lennox family, and a place of great Strength: it is also said to have been an occasional residence of Queen Mary, and a favorite hunting place of her son and successor James 6th. It appears to have been surrounded by a moat, and there are still traces of a deep ditch. On the north side of the road leading from Currie to Lennox Tower and Malleny, were five large stones set perpendicularly in the ground, which along with a cairn a little to the South of this spot, tradition says were erected to commemorate some battle fought here. On removing the stones about 30 years ago, a number of stone coffins were discovered and which are still to be seen. They were discovered in 1820, and the proprietor Lieut[enant] General Scott of Malleny erected a stone, with a suitable inscription, in order to point out the spot and to facilitate the researches of the Curious into the nature of such interesting Relics of Antiquity. |
