Town: Bonnyrigg is a welcoming countryside town resting between Edinburgh and Newtongrange in Midlothian. Once a mining settlement, Bonnyrigg is now known for its strong sense of community, green spaces, and easy access to the capital. The town offers a selection of attractions, including the tranquil King George V Park, where tree-lined paths and open lawns invite leisurely strolls, and the Mavisbank Estate Circular walking trail, a peaceful loop through woodland and riverside paths that reveals glimpses of a once-grand 18th-century villa now reclaimed by nature. Dining options include Gigi’s Restaurant, a family-run Italian favourite, and the lively Bannoc Brewhouse, known for its artisan gins and live music. You can stock up on essentials at the nearby Co-op Food or Tesco Express, with larger supermarkets available in Dalkeith, just a short drive away. Nearby Dalkeith is a vibrant market town with a rich heritage. Spend a morning exploring the grand Dalkeith Palace, set within expansive parkland that bursts into colour in spring and summer. Just beyond, Restoration Yard offers a stylish blend of boutique shopping, wellness classes, and a riverside café, all nestled within the scenic Dalkeith Country Park. To the west, Lasswade offers a slower pace and a touch of history. Wander through the Lasswade Old Kirk & Graveyard, where ivy-covered ruins whisper stories of centuries past, or enjoy a round at Kings Acre Golf Course, a beautifully maintained course tucked among mature trees and rolling fairways. To the south, Newtongrange proudly showcases its industrial roots. At the National Mining Museum Scotland, descend into the story of coal mining at the atmospheric Lady Victoria Colliery, guided by former miners. Afterwards, relax with a pint at The Dean Tavern, a historic Gothenburg pub that once served the local mining community and still retains its traditional charm. And just to the north, Edinburgh offers a striking contrast with its dramatic skyline and cultural riches. Wander the cobbled streets of the Old Town, where centuries of history echo between towering tenements, or climb Arthur’s Seat for panoramic views stretching from the Firth of Forth to the Pentland Hills. With its blend of heritage, green spaces, and proximity to both countryside and capital, Bonnyrigg is a well-placed base for exploring the heart of Midlothian and beyond.
