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".

The estate of Gut-tres or Goodtrees was the family home of James Stewart but it was renamed Moredun House in 1769 by the new owner, David Stuart Moncrieff, in recognition of a hill on his Perthshire estate.
