Tradespeople in Newtongrange, Midlothian

About Newtongrange

Newtongrange is a village south of Dalkeith that was built around the Lady Victoria Colliery, one of Scotland's most important deep mines.

The National Mining Museum Scotland, housed in the restored colliery buildings, is a five-star visitor attraction and the definitive record of Scotland's coal mining heritage.

The Borders Railway station has given the village direct rail access to Edinburgh, and new housing has brought a younger population alongside long-established families.

Newtongrange has a strong community identity, reflected in its annual children's gala day — one of the biggest in Midlothian.

The village sits between Dalkeith and Gorebridge on the A7, with good bus connections supplementing the rail service.

About Midlothian

Midlothian is a compact council area immediately south of Edinburgh, stretching from the city bypass to the edge of the Scottish Borders.

It takes in the valleys of the North and South Esk rivers, the northern slopes of the Pentland Hills, and a string of former mining communities that have reinvented themselves as commuter towns and growing residential centres.

Dalkeith is the administrative centre, but Bonnyrigg is the most populous settlement — and Penicuik, set against the Pentlands, has the feel of a self-contained town in its own right.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Newtongrange, Gorebridge, and Eskbank to Edinburgh Waverley, and has driven significant housing growth across the region.

Midlothian is one of the fastest-growing local authority areas in Scotland, attracting families and professionals who want proximity to Edinburgh without the city price tag.
