Enquiry has been made as to whether the name Auldcathie should be written on plans as a district name or as a parish name, and the following answer has been returned
"The whole of Dalmeny Detached is not Known as Auldcathie nowadays. It is Spoken of as Farms not as a district. The whole is Called Dalmeny. the farms of Trinlymire and Lampinsdub are never called Auldcathie. What is understood by Auldcathie is simply the Farm on which stands the old church. Authorities W.
