DUDDINGSTON, a '''parish''', in the county of Edinburgh; including the villages of Joppa and Easter and Wester Duddingston, and also the late quoad sacra parish of Portobello; 3½ miles (E. by S), and the latter 1½ mile (E. S. E.), from Edinburgh. This place derived its name, anciently Dodinestun, from the family of Dodin, to whom it belonged in the reign of David I. The church is a very ancient structure in the Norman style, of which it contains some interesting details, particularly a fine arch separating the chancel from the nave; in 1631. It was enlarged and repaired in 1840, and now contains 400 sittings. There are places of worship for members of the '''United Associate Secession''', the '''Relief Congregation''', and '''Independents''', and an '''episcopal''' and a '''Roman Catholic''' chapel.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43433#s2 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 297-310.
