Penicuik and the places nearby.
Penicuik is a former paper-making town at the foot of the Pentland Hills, and it has grown into a commuter town for Edinburgh with a lot of newer housing around the older centre. Walkers and cyclists head for the Pentlands, and nearby Roslin draws visitors to its chapel. Households here are mainly families who search online for trades, childcare and fitness, and a site that names the surrounding villages as well as Penicuik catches customers who would otherwise look to Edinburgh firms.
Bonnyrigg (5 miles) and Dalkeith (7 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Edinburgh (9 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Musselburgh (10 miles), Broxburn (12 miles), Livingston (12 miles) and Bathgate (17 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Auchendinny, Roslin, Mauricewood, Howgate, Milton Bridge and Silverburn: if you work in particular parts of Penicuik, those names belong on the site.
Penicuik addresses fall in the EH postcode area, about 353 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
