🔜Join the Midlothian Ranger Service tomorrow and explore the beauty of the wildlife in and around the River North Esk. Here at Roslin, the river has wound its way through the Pentland Hills to join the Glen in all its splendour, deep within the Esk Valley. We will have nets, trays and bug boxes to discover what lives in the water, under stones and at the banksides. Great fun for everyone who fancies a paddle.

📍Meet at car park, Roslin Glen Country Park, Roslin, EH25 9PX
💚 FREE - no booking required, drop in anytime.

🚸 We’re looking for School Crossing Guides in Penicuik – just like Craig! 🚸
Craig Purves, pictured, has been a familiar and friendly face keeping children safe on the roads in Midlothian for many years. For Craig, the best part of the job is simple: “being here for the kids and making sure they get across the road safely.” He also loves seeing them grow up — from nursery right through to high school. Outside of the role, Craig is also a well‑known local football coach.
We’re now looking for new, permanent school crossing guides to join our community team.
⏰ Hours: 7–11 hours per week
✅ Experience working with children or in a community setting is desirable
💻 Basic computer skills are needed for email and admin tasks
If you’d like to make a real difference locally, we’d love to hear from you.
📧 Apply by emailing [email protected]
📞 Or call 07901 764325 for an informal chat
