Lasswade (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lasswade is a parish and village in Midlothian, Scotland, on the River North Esk, nine miles (14.5 kilometres) south of Edinburgh city centre, between Dalkeith and Loanhead. Melville Castle lies to the north east. The name Lasswade probably dervives from the Old English for laes - meaning meadow and (ge)waed - meaning ford. The current Lasswade Parish Church building was originally built for the former United Presbyterian Church (later United Free Church), which became part of the Church of Scotland in 192
