Burdiehouse; Scots: Burdiehoose, is an area in the south east of Edinburgh, Scotland, near Gilmerton, Gracemount and Southhouse. The name may be a corruption of the name Bordeaux, from French immigrants who lived in the area.
Today, Burdiehouse is an area with a high level of residents living in poverty.
The Burdiehouse Burn (known elsewhere as the Lothian Burn, Niddrie Burn and Brunstane Burn) flows through the area.
