audience back to the time when agriculture was the major industry in Midlothian.<\/p>\n<p>When Dalkeith Corn Exchange was the largest and busiest in Scotland and new ideas on husbandry and harvesting were being promoted by forward looking Midlothian farmers who ensured that the people of Dalkeith had a ready supply of fresh local, meat, vegetables and cereals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tickets \u00a35.00
