MIDLOTHIAN
From 2007,
Midlothian was split into 6 council
wards, each with 3 councillors, elected
under a system of proportional
representation called STV (Single
Transferable Vote). For details of
each ward, just click on the above map.
Less than ten miles south of Edinburgh city centre, Midlothian is blessed with scenic countryside, topical heritage and outstanding sports facilities.
|
The Pentland Hills provide a stunning backdrop to the area and is home to a variety of local wildlife not to mention walkers, cyclists and riders. It encompasses more than 10,000 acres of countryside and over 100km of paths and trails.

Midlothian is also home to the world famous Rosslyn Chapel. The Chapel recently found fame in Dan Brown's controversial book, The Da Vinci Code. Founded in 1446, this beautiful building is still used today as a place of worship by locals.
The imposing Crichton Castle is also based in Midlothian, as is Newbattle Abbey and number of local castles - such as Dalhousie Castle now offering everything from luxury accommodation to spa treatments. But there's more to Midlothian than historical buildings, the area is also home to the UK's largest artificial (dry) ski slope.

|
With excellent local amenities - Midlothian has a number of small, well established towns, and is very close to the capital city, making it the ideal location for a rural activity break
The main towns all have good public transportation links with the city and there is a network of paths and trails throughout the local area making it easy to get out and about to explore Midlothian.
