Dalkeith History Society

The Dalkeith History Society was set up in 1975 by Provost David Smith when the independent burgh of Dalkeith became part of Midlothian District.

The Society was given the use of three rooms in the old Council Chambers in Buccleuch Street, to be used as a small museum and workshop, Here, they were able to build up their collection of artefacts, documents and photographs and to do further research into Dalkeith’s past.
