Thank you 🙂

Thank you very much to Roslin Heritage Society for providing information about the history of the Moat Pit, and also to the National Mining Museum of Scotland in Newtongrange (nationalminingmuseum.com) for these fascinating photos of Roslin Colliery.

Our interpretation panel...

We are very pleased to say that councillor Pauline Wi******er has kindly offered to part-fund a replacement.

However, we do need more money to make this happen, so if you can, please donate via our GoFundMe page:

You may have seen that our noticeboard on Penicuik Road fell down a year or so ago, and the one by the railway path is literally on its last legs!

However the folks from Roslin Community Changers are working to repair the Penicuik Road one, and councillor Pauline Wi******er has kindly offered to part-fund a replacement for the other one.

We do need more money for this though, so please can you share our GoFundMe page:
