Description
Dalkeith and Around Through Time by Jack Gillon explores the rich history of Midlothian's largest town. From its role as the government centre during Cromwell's time, to its 17th-century market and 19th-century railway link to Edinburgh, Dalkeith has played a significant part in Scotland's development. The surrounding villages also have their own stories to tell, with Newtongrange's mining heritage, Bonnyrigg's industrial past, and Lasswade's role as a popular holiday resort for wealthy Edinburgh residents. The nearby village of Roslin is home to Rosslyn Chapel, famous for its connections to the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail. This book takes a fascinating look at Dalkeith and its surroundings through time, revealing the town's history and significance in Scotland's past.
