Welcome to Dalkeith Museum<\/h2>\n

The restoration of the Dalkeith Corn Exchange, once the largest in Scotland, was a key element of the regeneration project carried out in Dalkeith\u2019s conservation area with grant aid from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Historic Environment Scotland.<\/p>\n

The 3 year funded project enabled the Grade A listed Victorian building to be fully repaired and restored and to incorporate a bespoke Museum facility for the town.<\/p>\n

The new Museum provides an open, welcoming public space where the rich history and heritage of Dalkeith can be explored. The Museum is managed and run by Dalkeith History Society via the Museum Advisory Group and their team of volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
