Point of Interest

The Innocent Railway. The Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway was first opened in 1831 to convey coal by horse power from pits round Dalkeith into the capital. There are various explanations for its nickname, “ Innocent Railway”. Some claim that it was so named because no one was killed in its construction or while it operated , but the most likely explanation is that it was so called because it continued to use horses when others were moving to steam, which was regarded then as dangerous.

Point of Interest

Roslin Village Crossroads. Two pubs.
