Dalkeith is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, on the River Esk. It was bestowed a burgh of barony in 1401 and a burgh of regality in 1540. The settlement of Dalkeith grew south-westwards from its 12th-century castle, which is known today as Dalkeith Palace. With reference to the 2011 Census, Dalkeith has a permanent population of around 12342 people. The town is composed of four unique areas: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and cultural core, with Eskbank to its west and Woodburn to its east. Eskbank is the prosperous region of Dalkeith with lots of large Victorian and more recent houses. To the south of Eskbank is Newbattle with its abbey. Woodburn is a mostly working class council estate. The structure on High Street of Dalkeith, now described as the Tolbooth, started to be utilized as a tolbooth for the administration of the town in the early 18th century. The plaque above the door checks out ‘1648’ however this was taken from another structure and does not signify when the Tolbooth was constructed. Working generally as a site for law and order, it included a jail in the west half, a court room on the east, and a dungeon referred to as the ‘great void’ below ground. In front of the building there is a circle of stones to highlight the site where the last public hanging in Dalkeith took place in 1827. The town is also the home of other significant structures, namely a Watch Tower at the cemetery, a water tower and a range of iron mills going back to the early 19th century.
