You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.172.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Dalmeny''' (((IPAc-en|d|æ|l|ˈ|m|ɛ|n|i))) is a village and [[civil parishes in Scotland|civil parish]] in [[Scotland]]. It is located on the south side of the [[Firth of Forth]], ((convert|1|mi)) southeast of [[South Queensferry]] and ((convert|8|mi)) west of [[Edinburgh]] city centre. It lies within the traditional boundaries of [[West Lothian]], and falls under the local governance of the [[City of Edinburgh Council]].

==Name history==
The 13th century form of the name, ''Dunmanyn'' (later ''Dunmanie'' and then ''Damenie'', hence the modern form), indicates that the first element is Britonnic ''din'' or Gaelic ''dun'', a fort. A derivation from ''dun managh'', "monk's fort", is unconvincing: there is no evidence to suggest there was ever a monastic settlement at Dalmeny. The name may rather be from ''din meyni'', "stony fort", or ''din meyn an'', "place of the stone fort", in reference to the ancient triple-walled fort that once stood on Craigie Hill in the east of the parish.<ref>((cite book|title=The Place-Names of Edinburgh|last=Harris|first=Stuart|date=2002|publisher=Steve Savage|location=Glasgow|isbn=9781904246060))</ref>

The second element has also been connected with [[Manaw Gododdin|Manau]], an ancient name for the lands adjoining the Forth, which would give a meaning of "fort of Manau" (compare [[Slamannan]], "mount of Manau", and [[Clackmannan]], "stone of Manau").<ref>((cite book|last=Rhys|first=John|author-link=John Rhys|year=1901|title=Celtic Folklore: Welsh and Manx|volume=II|publisher=the University Press|location=Oxford|page=550|url=https://archive.org/stream/celticfolklorewe02rhys#page/550))</ref>

==Infrastructure==
The village has a primary school, which accommodates about 100 pupils, and a [[Dalmeny railway station|railway station]] near the south end of the [[Forth Railway Bridge]], which also serves the larger town of Queensferry.

==Parish Church==
[[File:Dalmeny Church circa 1900.jpg|thumb|left|330px|Dalmeny Church circa 1900]]
A timber chapel to St Adamnon may have existed since the 8th century.<ref>New Statistical Account of Scotland vol.2</ref> This was replaced by a stone church around 1130, probably by [[Gospatric II, Earl of Lothian|Gospatric, Earl of Dunbar]], son of Waldeve, Lord of Allerdale, and the church had three altars: to [[St Cuthbert]], [[Brigid of Kildare|St Bridget]] and St Adamnon.<ref>Dalmeny Church by Flora Johnston ISBN 978-0-9543683-3-2</ref>

The church is recognised as the finest [[Norman architecture|Norman]]/[[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] parish church still in use in Scotland, and one of the most complete in the [[United Kingdom]], lacking only its original western tower, which was replaced in a sympathetic style in 1937 having been long absent.<ref name="ReferenceA">Buildings of Scotland: Lothian, by Colin McWilliam</ref> The most notable feature is the ornate archway framing the small main entrance door on the south side. The aisleless [[nave]], [[choir]] and [[apse]] survive almost complete from the 12th century.  The refined sculptural detail of the chancel and apse arches is notable, as is a series of powerful beast-head [[corbel]]s supporting the apse vault.  These features are also extremely well preserved, with the original tool-marks still visible.  The elaborate south doorway is carved with symbols representing a [[bestiary]] and an "[[agnus dei]]", enlivened with blind arcading above. The door is comparable to the north door at [[Dunfermline Abbey]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Nearby is a rare 12th-century sarcophagus carved with 13 doll-like figures (possibly Christ and the 12 apostles) in niches (now very weathered). The churchyard also has a number of fine 17th- and 18th-century gravestones.<ref name=listed>((Historic Environment Scotland|num=LB5570|desc=Dalmeny Village, 20 Main Street, Dalmeny Kirk, St Cuthbert's, Church of Scotland, including churchyard|cat=A|access-date=26 March 2019))</ref> Interments in the churchyard include the advocate and historian [[John Hill Burton]] (1809–81).

The north (Rosebery) aisle dates from 1671 and was remodelled in the late 19th century. This has elaborate but "inaccurate" Neo-Norman details.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The church is a [[listed building#Scotland|category A listed building]].<ref name=listed/>

==Location==
When viewed from a distance the church appears to rise on a mound above the local topography. It is speculated that it is built on a pre-Christian burial mound.<ref>Investigation on pre-Christian influences on Christian architecture; dissertation, University of Edinburgh, 1983 (Stephen C. Dickson)</ref> This would mean that the graveyard predates the church. A second detached mound of smaller size lies on the east road out of the village. This pre-dating is further evidenced by the 7th-century coffin stone near the door which appears to have been dug up during the 1937 restoration.

Besides the parish church, the most significant buildings are [[Dalmeny House]] and [[Barnbougle Castle]], to the east of the village, home to the [[Earl of Rosebery]]. The most notable earl was [[Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery|Archibald, 5th Earl of Rosebery]], who served as Prime Minister from 1894 to 1895 and is the grandfather of the present earl.

The village itself consists of early 19th-century cottages along the main street (built at the same time as Dalmeny House), with 20th-century housing to the south close to the [[A90 road|A90]]. To the south of the A90 is the Dalmeny Tank Farm, a large oil-storage facility formerly operated by [[BP]], but since 2018 by INEOS. The facility was constructed in the 1970s on a former [[oil shale]] mine, and is screened by a mound of the waste material from the mine. Oil is transferred from the site to tankers moored at the [[Hound Point]] Terminal in the Firth of Forth.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst18053.html |title=Dalmeny Tank Farm |work=Gazetteer for Scotland |access-date=15 October 2013))</ref>

Dalmeny, along with Queensferry, [[Kirkliston]], [[Cammo]], [[Cramond]], [[Barnton, Edinburgh|Barnton]], [[Silverknowes]], [[Gogar, Edinburgh|Gogar]], [[Hermiston, Edinburgh|Hermiston]], and [[Newbridge, Edinburgh|Newbridge]], forms the Almond [[ward (politics)|electoral ward]] of the City of Edinburgh Council.
