I know the end is E Calder, any guess as to the rest.

Edinburgh - the C could be for City

The county it's in used to be known as Edinburghshire - in fact its formal name was County of Edinburgh until 1890, so that might be what's intended here. After that it was known as Midlothian.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Thanks all, I am inclined to agree with the suggestion that the C stands for County rather than City since East Calder to my eye appears to be well outside Edinburgh city limits.
