Roslin or Rosslyn Chapel Founded in the early 15th century by Wm. St.Clair, Earl of Orkney, this is truly a magical building associated with the Knights Templar. The Holy Grail is said to be buried here. A claim used by Dan Brown in his book,"The Da Vinci Code" which was filmed here. The interior has magnificent stone carvings and, amongst its mysteries, carvings of a maize plant done before the discovery of America. For many years the roof has been covered in scaffolding and plastic sheeting in an attempt to dry out the stonework. This old photo shows the building before this restoration was started. The exterior is, in my view, not attractive but the interior is truly outstanding.If visiting I recommend taking binoculars to view the elaborate carvings covering the entire ceiling. It is still used as an Episcopalian church.

Lady Victoria Colliery This view gives some idea of the extent of surviving buildings. Between the headstocks and the chimney is the winding engine house; the large building to the right is the power house which would have included the compressors for the underground compressed air machinery.

Bilston Viaduct The Bilston Viaduct over the Bilston Glen near Loanhead is now a walk/cycleway. The viaduct was built in 1892 and once carried the Glencorse branch of the old Edinburgh, Loanhead & Roslin Railway, which took coal and limestone from the mines in Midlothian. It was renovated for its new use in 1999.

Vogrie House In the 1870's, the Perth whisky family, the Dewars, commissioned the Perth architect Andrew Heiton to build a mansion on their estate. The estate was sold in 1924 becoming an outstation for the Edinburgh Mental Hospital. In the 1960's, during the period of the Cold War, it was the Civil Defence HQ for Midlothian and is now the centre for the popular Vogrie Country Park with extensive woodlands, miles of paths and includes a golf course. The Dewar name is however continued in the village of Dewartown nearby.

Penicuik House This estate has been owned by the Clerks of Penicuik for several centuries. A family that has played a prominent role in Scottish history. When the palladian mansion was destroyed by fire over a century ago the stables block was converted to their home. The prominent domed doocot is a copy of 'Arthurs O'on' (0ven), a Roman temple which once stood near Falkirk.
