LASSWADE, a '''parish''', in the county of Edinburgh; containing the village of Loanhead, and the late quoad sacra district of Roslin, 2½ miles (W. S. W.) from Dalkeith. This parish is supposed to have derived its name from the situation of the church and village in a well-watered pastoral district. It was anciently much less extensive, now including the parishes of Pentland and Melville, which were suppressed at the Reformation. The present church, erected in 1793, and substantially repaired and improved is a neat structure adapted for a congregation of 1000 persons: the remains of the ancient church, within the churchyard, consist chiefly of one of the aisles, which has been converted into a sepulchral chapel. There are places of worship for members of the '''Reformed Presbyterian''' and '''United Secession''' churches.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43457#s30 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 137-157.
