 COLINTON, a '''parish''', in the county of Edinburgh, including the villages of Hailes-Quarry, Juniper-Green, Longstone, Slateford, and Swanston; 4 miles (S. W.) from Edinburgh. The name of this place, sometimes written Colington, was formerly Hailes, a word signifying "mounds" or "hillocks," and accurately descriptive of the appearance of the surface of the parish. The church, which is very ancient, is beautifully situated in the vicinity of Colinton House; it was rebuilt in 1771, and in 1817 new-roofed, and in the year 1837 it was enlarged and re-seated. There is a place of worship for members of the '''Free Church'''; also a '''chapel''' at Slateford, built in 1784.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43427#s39 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 200-218.
