Incredible footage found online shows Midlothian villages of the 1960s

Footage found online has shown some of the villages in the Midlothian area as they were in the 1960s and '70s.

Old Midlothian Memory Lane has uploaded multiple videos, some full films and others a collection of photos, showing the Woodburn and Dalkeith villages back in the day. From the buildings, cars and buses - we can see how much has changed over time.

Dalkeith, centered around Dalkeith Palace, saw a period of growth in the 1930s courtesy of a railway link with Edinburgh that transported coal, minerals and agricultural products. In one of the videos, we see the bustling burgh with cars filling the street and old fashioned buses transporting folks around.
