It's a bit tricky for visitors to pronounce, but Corstorphine is one of Edinburgh's nicest areas.
Now a pleasant suburb to the west of the city, for most of its history it was a village.
Corstorphine was formally merged with Edinburgh in 1920, by the same piece of legislation which controversially made Leith part of the capital.
Despite the village's proud past it's not entirely clear where the name "Corstorphine" comes from.
We take a look at two competing theories below.
The French connection
The first mentions of the village go back to the 12th century, though it was sometimes spelled Crostorfin or Crostorfyn.
Some believe this name has a French origin - it would be evidence of the Norman conquest's impact on the British Isles.
The 19th century Gazetteer for Scotland, a publication which documents the various areas of the country, stated this was the most likely scenario.
It dismissed the possibility of a Celtic origin, saying: "Another derivation is from the Norman or French words, 'crois d'ore fin', or cross of fine gold, and this we think the more probable of the two.
"From the circumstance that the earliest proprietors of Crostorfin were Normans, who, in that age, were devoted friends of the church, and fond of the emblem of the cross.
While this is a charming theory, later research cast serious doubt on a "cross of fine gold" giving the place its name.
Torfin's crossing
Stuart Harris was an Edinburgh council worker who was responsible for naming the city's streets for around a decade.
His book, The Place Names of Edinburgh: their Origins and History, is pretty authoritative on the subject.
He reckoned Corstorphine actually came from Gaelic rather than French. Many places around the city have their roots in Gaelic words.
Stuart said the "cross of fine gold" was a "silly fable" and the name instead came from Torfin's crossing.
The village once sat between bodies of water, including the now-drained Corstorphine Loch.
However the identity of Torfin isn't clear, he may have been a local baron who was in charge of a stronghold next to the crossing.
The Gazetteer notes there was a grandson of the Scottish king Malcolm called Torphin, but he died in 1014 there is no recorded link between him and the village.
Stuarts suggests the name is a Gaelicised version of the Norse name Thorfinnr, which was popular in Scotland at the time.
There's a pub called The Torfin on St John's Road and a street called Torphin Road, so in some way the legacy of the original owner lives on.
