Dalkeith
Dalkeith is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, on the River Esk. It was approved a burgh of barony in 1401 and a burgh of regality in 1540. The settlement of Dalkeith spread out south-westwards from its 12th-century castle, which is recognized today as Dalkeith Palace. With reference to the 2011 Census, Dalkeith has a permanent population of around 12342 people. The town is made up of 4 unique spots: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and cultural core, with Eskbank to its west and Woodburn to its east. Eskbank is the well-situated area of Dalkeith with several sizeable Victorian and more recent houses. To the south of Eskbank is Newbattle with its abbey. Woodburn is a largely working class council estate. The structure on High Street of Dalkeith, now referred to as the Tolbooth, began to be used as a tolbooth for the administration of the town in the early 18th century. The plaque above the door reads '1648' however this was taken from another structure and does not signify when the Tolbooth was installed. Working mostly as a site for law and order, it featured a prison in the west half, a court room on the east, and a dungeon called the 'great void' listed below ground. In front of the building there is a circle of stones to highlight the site where the last public hanging in Dalkeith occurred in 1827. The town is also the home of other distinctive structures, such as a Watch Tower at the cemetery, a water tower and a number of iron mills going back to the early 19th century.
