OS1/34/27/6 [Page] 6 "The church and hamlet of Aldcathie appear to have borrowed from the rivulet on which they stood Aldcathie in the Gaelic Signifying the rivulet of the breach or defile. The Church was but of little value in the ancient taxatio it is rated at only a few marks. It appears not to have been taxed in Bagimonts roll as it seems to have belonged to some religious house. After the Reformation the parish which was of Small extent was annexed to Dalmenie; and the church of Aldcathie was suffered to fall into ruins. The antiquarian eyes of Sibbald saw it in a very ruinous state. The ancient lords of the Manor of Aldcathie seem to have forfeited their estate during the Succession war and it was granted by Robert I. to Walter the son of Gilbert as we have seen" etc. Penny's Linlithgowshire pp.156, 157

OS1/34/27/16 [Page] 16 [Note] 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. Alexander Armour. Factors Clerk (Signed) M. Duggan C. Asst. [Civilian Assistant].
