The area around Dalkeith.
Dalkeith is an old Midlothian market town beside the grounds of Dalkeith Country Park, and the Borders Railway has put it within easy reach of Edinburgh. Large new developments such as Shawfair and around Eskbank have brought in many new households. Former mining villages like Newtongrange and Mayfield sit close by with their own loyal communities. New-build owners search online for everything, so naming these specific places, and the estates within them, is the quickest way for a Dalkeith business to be found.
