Kirkliston is a small village within the City of Edinburgh council area of Scotland. It sits on the historic route between Edinburgh and Queensferry, the gateway to Fife and the north. Today, it is bypassed by the A90. It lies close to the world-famous Forth Road Bridge and Forth Rail Bridge, and is in proximity to Edinburgh Airport.
The oldest surviving building in Kirkliston is the church (hence the first half of the village's name). Parts of this building are over 800 years of age. Originally belonging to the order of Knights Templar, the village was historically called Temple Liston.
