Scope and Content The approach to Duddingston Village, Edinburgh, from Holyrood Park Duddingston is a small and compact village built around a church founded in the 12th century. It lies in the shelter of Arthur's Seat, just outside the boundary of Holyrood Park, in a quiet rural setting on the shores of Duddingston Loch. The approach to Duddingston from the west leads through an extensive rubble wall which forms the boundary between the park and the village. A Tudor-gabled house (left), the lodge of the park built c.1840, stands just outside it. The name Duddingston is derived from Dodin de Berwic, a Norman knight who feued the land from Kelso Abbey c.1150 and thereafter called himself Dodin de Dodinestoun. The village became known as Dodin's 'toun' or 'farm place'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
