CURRIE, a '''parish''', in the county of Edinburgh, 6 miles (S. W.) from Edinburgh; containing the villages of Balerno and Hermiston. This place, called anciently ''Kil-Leith'', from a religious establishment on the Water of Leith, is supposed to have derived its more general appellation from the remains of the Roman station ''Coria'', which some antiquaries have identified with the immediate vicinity. The church, a neat structure erected about the year 1790, is situated on an eminence on the south bank of the river; and its spire, rising above the foliage around, forms a pleasing feature in the scenery of the village. There is a place of worship for members of the '''United Secession Church'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43430#s16 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 246-259.
