The name
Swanston Path probably takes its name from Swanston Golf Club. Margaret Carswell laid it out in the Pentland Hills after Edinburgh clubs refused her membership, and it opened as a ladies-only course in 1928.
Where the club's facts come from: Early Golf at Swanston, the club's own history.
How sure we are of the match: Likely
The estate's streets were named after golf courses. The streets page explains how each match was made.
We have not yet found anything written about this street itself. If you know when it was built or who first lived there, that would help.
