Gorebridge is a former mining village in Midlothian, Scotland. The town gets its name from the bridge across the River Gore, a tributary of the South Esk. It was the residence of Scotland’s first gunpowder mill, at the Gore Water, that began running in 1794. Gorebridge has an annual Gala Day which constantly occurs on the third Saturday in June. This is just like a community fair, with flights and games. The gala day has a custom of choosing a Community King as well as Queen from the primary schools. Gorebridge has 4 primary schools, Gorebridge Primary, Stobhill Primary, St Andrews RC Primary as well as Gore Glen Key. Greenhall High school made use of to serve the community yet shut down in 1994. Local children currently attend close-by Newbattle Community Senior high school, Lasswade Senior High School or St David’s RC Secondary school. Gorebridge’s neighborhood football team is juniors Arniston Rangers that play residence games at Newbyres Park. On 6 September 2015 Gorebridge saw the return of the Waverley Line with a brand-new station improved the site of the initial terminal. This gives rail accessibility to the Borders and Edinburgh Waverley railway terminal. In the Gore Glen there is a shallow cave, named “The King’s Cave”. According to legend a burglar used to steal livestock and also conceal in this neighboring cave. It is not, as some think, named after Robert the Bruce, who was said to have concealed here after loss through the English.
