Dalmeny is a village and parish in Scotland. Now more or less a suburb of South Queensferry, it falls administratively under Edinburgh, although not physically part of the city. The name is of Scottish Gaelic origin, being now Dail Mheinnidh or Dail M'Eithne in the modern language. This may refer to an ancient ecclesiastical settlement, dedicated to an obscure (female) saint Eithne; the local church is at least a thousand years old.
