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 4 distinctive spots: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and historical core, with Eskbank to its west and Woodburn to its east. Eskbank is the prosperous region of Dalkeith with several large Victorian and newer houses. To the south of Eskbank is Newbattle with its abbey. Woodburn is a primarily working class council estate. The structure on High Street of Dalkeith, now referred to as the Tolbooth, began to be used as a tolbooth for the administration of the town in the early 18th century. The plaque above the door checks out ‘1648’ but this was taken from another building and does not evidence when the Tolbooth was built. Working primarily as a site for law and order, it provided a penitentiary 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 home to other noteworthy structures, such as a Watch Tower at the cemetery, a water tower and a range of iron mills dating back to the early 19th century.
