Information enquiry

Dalkeith is a small town south-east of Edinburgh.

Eight miles to the south-east of Edinburgh, Dalkeith grew up in the Middle Ages as a baronial burgh under the successive control of the Douglases and Buccleuchs. Dalkeith Palace stands in the pleasant Dalkeith Country Park, as does Robert Adam's Montagu Bridge. There is also an adventure playground ideal for kids.
