Redford, a quaint old mansion in Colinton parish, Edinburghshire, in a pretty wooded dell on the left bank of Braid or Redford Burn, 5 furlongs E by S of Colinton village. The judge, Sir James Foulis, assumed from it the title of Lord Redford (1674); and it was the birthplace of John Allen (1771-1843), the political and historical writer. Redford now belongs to R. A. Macfie, Esq. of Dreghorn Castle.—Ord. Sur., sh. 32, 1857. See John Small's Castles and Mansions of the Lothians (Edinb. 1883).
