Dist:0.1km<br/>"With respect to markets, the parish is very conveniently situated. One of the most considerable, perhaps the greatest market for grain of any in Scotland, is held in Dalkeith every Thursday, to which is brought, a very great quantity of oats (in particular) from all the neighbourhood, and especially from the south country. It is remarkable, that all the grain sold here brings ready money; a circumstance of much importance to the farmers, who generally purchase here, such articles as they find necessary for themselves and their families, before they leave the town. A great proportion of the grain and meal sold at Dalkeith, goes to the supply of the west country, about Carron, Glasgow, and Paisley." -- Rev. Mr. William Scott, Old Statistical Account, 1791-93
