A visit to the Museum in the historic Corn Exchange will open up the rich history of the town once visited by Kings, conquerors, poets and famous politicians.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Museum is run totally by volunteers and in the year 2018\/19 we had over 1,500 visitors. These visitors included local residents both young and older, school groups and brave individuals who came out at night to experience a Dark and Deadly Dalkeith Walking Tour\u00ae<\/sup><\/p>\n

Our income comes from book sales and ticketed activities such as the Walking Tours and book presentations but we would like to do more.<\/p>\n

If you would like to support the work of the Museum why not become a Friend. As a Friend you could enjoy these activities at a special discounted rate, receive regular communications about Museum events and have the opportunity, if wished, to help volunteers with specific projects.<\/p>\n

Friends Membership is \u00a310 per year and this will go directly towards funding Museum activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>
