Rosewell, Midlothian history

---

The village was established by Archibald Hood, mining engineer and entrepreneur, who developed the Whitehill Colliery from 1856. He began a new shaft at the colliery in 1878, built railways for the mines and erected well-designed houses for the miners. In 1890 he amalgamated his company with the mining interests of the Marquess of Lothian. The National Coal Board took over the coal company in 1947 when mines in Britain were nationalised. It reached peak production in 1950, but closed in 1961.

Cockpen and Carrington Parish Church Cockpen and Carrington Parish Church is located to the south of the town of Bonnyrigg in Midlothian, Scotland. It is a congregation of the Church of Scotland. The current arrangement dates from 1975, when the two churches were united.

Mavisbank House Mavisbank is a country house outside Loanhead, south of Edinburgh in Midlothian, Scotland. It was designed by William Adam, in collaboration with his client, Sir John Clerk of Penicuik, and was constructed between 1723 and 1727. The house was altered in the 19th century, but suffered decades of neglect in the 20th century. The interiors were gutted by fire in 1973, and the house remains a ruin.
