Dalkeith Museum

12 September 2026 (10:30 - 15:30)

Midlothian

In Person

Dalkeith Museum is a small independent museum, fully accredited by Museum Galleries Scotland.  It is located in the rear of the Grade A listed Dalkeith Corn Exchange – at one time, the largest in Scotland. The museum is totally run by a team of volunteers on behalf of Dalkeith History Society. It provides a welcoming open space where visitors can discover the often under-estimated and under-told history of a once vibrant market town.

Our permanent collection explores living and working in Dalkeith in the past and reflects the tools and equipment that kept the wheels of this vibrant, market community turning. Step back in time and see Dalkeith at War, at School, at Work, at Leisure and see a Sustainable Dalkeith - local shops, local food and local transport. 

On Friday 18th September there will be a Dark and Deadly Dalkeith walking tour at 7pm - (paid tour) tickets available from the museum.
