Gorebridge
Gorebridge is a former mining village in Midlothian, Scotland. The town obtains its name from the bridge throughout the River Gore, a tributary of the South Esk. It was the residence of Scotland's very first gunpowder mill, at the Gore Water, that began running in 1794. Gorebridge has a yearly Gala Day which always takes place on the third Saturday in June. This is much like a community fair, with rides and video games. The gala day has a practice of picking a Community King as well as Queen from the primary schools. Gorebridge has 4 primary schools, Gorebridge Primary, Stobhill Primary, St Andrews RC Primary and Gore Glen Key. Greenhall Secondary school made use of to offer the town yet shut down in 1994. Regional children now attend neighboring Newbattle Community High School, Lasswade Secondary School or St David's RC Secondary school. Gorebridge's local football group is juniors Arniston Rangers that play residence games at Newbyres Park. On 6 September 2015 Gorebridge saw the return of the Waverley Line with a brand-new station built on the site of the initial terminal. This offers rail accessibility to the Borders as well as Edinburgh Waverley railway station. In the Gore Glen there is a shallow cavern, called "The King's Cave". According to tale a thief made use of to steal cattle as well as conceal in this close-by cavern. It is not, as some believe, called after Robert the Bruce, who was said to have concealed right here after defeat through the English.
