Scope and Content The Causeway, Duddingston Village, Edinburgh 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 Causeway, Duddingston's main street, is a narrow lane which runs the length of the village, starting from opposite the gates of the church. On the corner, where it turns sharply to the right, is the Sheep's Heid, an 18th-century inn. The Causeway, from the Scots word 'causey' which means a paved or metalled road, is derived from the old French word 'caucie' meaning 'a beaten way'. The villagers probably referred to the street as 'the causey'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
