                                      Rosewell originated as a mining village with brick-built

                                      dominating the character of the village. The original

                                      road. It has been acknowledged in the Midlothian Local
                                      Development Plan that the bypass provides a strong
                                      boundary to the village and that this should form the
                                      limit of village expansion.
                                      Rosewell Steading is currently being redeveloped for a
                                      Community Hub with the project being delivered by the
                                      Rosewell Development Trust. This will provide a
                                      central focus for the village.
                                      Rosewell has a good footpath / cycle route (Penicuik-
                                      Musselburgh Walkway / NCR196) which follows the old
                                      railway line through Bonnyrigg to Eskbank, providing
                                      good access to Bonnyrigg town centre, the Midlothian
                                      Community Hospital and the superstore at
                                      Hardengreen.
                                      Rosewell has seen many changes over the years and
                                      has always had a strong vibrant community. We must
                                      embrace the new developments to help influence the
                                      changes over the coming years.
