About Howgate

Howgate is a small village on the A6094 between Penicuik and Roslin, sitting on the high ground above the North Esk valley.

The Howgate Restaurant, a long-established local dining spot, has put the village on the map for visitors from Edinburgh and beyond.

The surrounding countryside is open farmland with views to the Pentland Hills, and the village is within easy reach of both Penicuik and the Straiton corridor.

Howgate is a quiet, rural settlement with a handful of houses, but its position on the road between Penicuik and Roslin gives it a recognised identity.

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.
