Dance Information
St Margaret's Park lies alongside Corstorphine High Street, Corstorphine, Edinburgh, Scotland.Corstorphine is a village and parish to the west of Edinburgh, now considered a suburb of that city.
The earliest known form of the name is Crostorfin, recorded in 1128. This possibly means 'Torfin's crossing'; in ancient times, much of the land in the area consisted of small lochs and marshes, with Corstorphine situated at an ideal crossing point.
Old Corstorphine stood on a piece of dry land, between two lochs, the Gogar Loch and Corstorphine Loch, though both have now been drained.
