Gilmerton is a suburb of Edinburgh, about 4 miles southeast of the city centre. The toponym "Gilmerton" is derived from a combination of Scottish Gaelic: Gille-Moire– a personal name and later surname meaning "Servant of Mary", from which comes the first element, "Gilmer", – and Old English: ton meaning "settlement" or "farmstead".
