Auchendinny , also obsolete Auchindinny , is a village in the Scottish Council Area Midlothian . It is about two kilometers northeast of Penicuik and twelve kilometers south of central Edinburgh . The village lies in the depression of the Glencorse Burn creek , which flows into the North Esk a few hundred meters east of Auchendinny .

history

From the early 18th century, Auchendinny developed as a location for the paper industry. The Auchindinny Mill burned down in the 1840s and was converted into a laundry that eventually closed in the 1960s. The Dalmore Mill , founded in 1837, was the last paper processing company at this location to close in 2005.

The stately villa Auchendinny House is located directly south of Auchendinny . The building erected in the 1700s may go back to a previous building at the same location. It is considered to be the last and smallest building designed by William Bruce . In the Scottish Monument Lists it is placed in the highest category A.

In the Scottish census data, Auchendinny is not listed separately, but is added to Penicuik. The last time in 1971 there were 325 inhabitants in the village, which corresponded to an increase of 13 people within ten years.

traffic

The A701 (Edinburgh– Dumfries ), which runs a few hundred meters to the northwest, connects Auchendinny with the trunk road network. In 1872 Auchendinny received its own station along the Penicuik Railway , a branch line of the Peebles Railway . For economic reasons, operations were closed in 1951. With the Old Woodhouselee Railway Viaduct and the Old Woodhouselee Tunnel , two buildings that are now listed buildings in the vicinity of the village bear witness to the past. Today the tunnel is part of a cycle path.
