Dalkeith is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, on the River Esk. It was approved a burgh of barony in 1401 and a burgh of regality in 1540. The settlement of Dalkeith expanded 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 distinct spots: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and historic core, with Eskbank to its west and Woodburn to its east. Eskbank is the well-heeled district of Dalkeith with several large Victorian and more recent homes. To the south of Eskbank is Newbattle with its abbey. Woodburn is a largely working class council estate. The structure on High Street of Dalkeith, now referred to as the Tolbooth, began 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 mark when the Tolbooth was built. Working principally as a site for law and order, it provided a jail in the west half, a court room on the east, and a dungeon known as the ‘black hole’ below ground. In front of the building there is a circle of stones to highlight the site where the last public hanging in Dalkeith occurred in 1827. The town is also the home of other notable buildings, including a Watch Tower at the cemetery, a water tower and a number of iron mills going back to the early 19th century.
