Colinton (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Cholgain) is a suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland situated 6 kilometres south west of the city centre. Up until the late 18th century it appears on maps as Collington. It is bordered by Dreghorn to the south and Craiglockhart to the north-east. To the north-west it extends to Lanark Road (the A70) and to the south-west to the City Bypass. Bonaly is a subsection of the area on its southern side.
Colinton is a designated conservation area.
Originally sited within a steep-sided glen on a convenient fording point on the Water of Leith, and expanding from there, Colinton's history dates back to before the 11th century.
Close to the Water of Leith is Colinton Parish Church, correctly called St Cuthbert's Parish Church, originally founded as the Church of Halis (Hailes) around 1095 by Elthelred, third son of Malcolm III and Queen Margaret. The church is particularly picturesque in its setting, which appears more rural than suburban. The current exterior largely dates from 1907 but the structure dates from 1650. It groups pleasantly with its manse, the old schoolhouse and the offertory house at the entrance. The entrance is marked by a lych gate, rare in Scotland and more common in southern England. The cemetery (on the lower slopes to the south) contains the village war memorial. One unique grave within the cemetery is a Norwegian War Grave.
Badala Sama Hai Khushbu Rawa Hai, Rango Mein Duba Mera Jahaan Hai
Haan Hai Kitani Haseen Teri Dosti, Haan Lagi Hai Nai Mujhe Jindagi
Ab Chaahe Ho Khushi Ya Chaahe Ho Ghum, I Will Be There For You
Yaari Teri Meri Kabhi Na Hogi Kam, I Will Be There For You
Ho Hum Parinde Hai Hawa Pe So Lenge, Hum Aasman Ke Ho Lenge
Dekhna Hum Aasman Ke Ho Lenge, Dekhna Yaara, Hum Baadalo Pe Dolenge
(Girke Phir Sambhalna Hai, Ab Saath Mein Chalna Hai
Apne Hi Rang Mein Duniya Ko Rangna Hain) 2
Ab Chaahe Ho Khushi Ya Chaahe Ho Ghum, I Will Be There For You
Yaari Teri Meri Kabhi Na Hogi Kam, I Will Be There For You
Phul Bikhre Hain Hamaari Raahon Mein
Ab To Jannat Hai Hamaari Baahon Mein, Hain Na
Ab To Jannat Hai Hamaari Baahon Mein Yaara
Hum Hai Khushi Ki Chhan Mein
(Ab Duri Bhi Kehati Hain Tere Sang Rehana Hai
Beach Mein Na Duniya Aaye Duniya Se Kehana Hai) 2
O Baby, O Baby (I Will Be There For You) 3
(Yaari Teri Meri Kabhi Na Hogi Kam, I Will Be There For You
Ab Chaahe Ho Khushi Ya Chaahe Ho Ghum, I Will Be There For You) 2
Yaari Teri Meri Kabhi Na Hogi Kam, I Will Be There For You
I Will Be There For You..
