Edinburgh - Colinton kirk session

A church court that sat within the presbytery of Edinburgh and the synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. Founded in c. 1095 by the Earl of Fife, St Cuthbert's Church in the parish then called Hailes belonged pre-Reformation to the Preceptory of St Anthony's of Leith. The first church at Colinton was erected in 1636. The parish of Colinton extended from Fairmilehead to Juniper Green and from Slateford to the Pentlands. It was called Hailes until 1697, and from then until 1747 'Hailes alias Collingtoune'.
