Burdiehouse
Burdiehouse is an area in the south east of Edinburgh, Scotland, near Gilmerton and Southhouse. Its name is often said to be a corruption of Bordeaux, as a result of settlement in the area by French immigrants associated with Mary, Queen of Scots, but this is by no means certain.
Today, Burdiehouse is an area with a high level of residents living in poverty.
The Burdiehouse Burn flows through the area.
