Discover Midlothian with locations and attractions full of colour, character and a story to tell.
Explore the Secret Herb Garden for a day to relax and embrace the serenity around you, or take a walk among the variety of home-grown herbs, whether in the glasshouse or out in the gardens. Enjoy an afternoon tea and fresh, home-made food in the family friendly café, or buy some products made from the garden, such as candles, honey and coffee, in the garden shop.
Delve into the history of Rosslyn Chapel, which was founded in 1446, with guided tours, talks, and events, or explore the ancient woodland of Roslin Glen with pathways, meadows and historical features.
Get in touch with your wild side at the Edinburgh Butterfly & Insect World and Dalhousie Castle Falconry where you can get up close to spiders, centipedes, and butterflies, or meet buzzards, eagles, falcons and more that you can learn to fly for yourselves.
Refresh your senses in the outdoors where you can try out skiing and snowboarding at the Midlothian Snowsports Centre, roam the countryside to see what wildlife you can find in the Pentland Hills, or have a fun family day out at Dalkeith Country Park with playgrounds, outdoor activities, and woodland walks to enjoy.
Put your taste buds to the test with the countless of delicious food and drinks on offer. Try out local produce on the menu at The Paper Mill, and test out the brew-it-yourself facility at Stewart Brewing’s Craft Beer Kitchen, or even enjoy a tour or event that they have on offer as well.
Plan a family day out to Ryze Trampoline Centre for endless hours of fun with foam pits, dodgeball, events and more to get involved in. Or for some history and learning, take a trip to the National Mining Museum Scotland to find out what life was like working in the mines, dress in Victorian clothes, or explore the interactive zone.
