Auchendinny (Шаблон:Lang-gd, meaning field of the fox) is a small village in Glencorse near Penicuik, Midlothian, Scotland. The village had a paper mill at Dalmore, until its closure in 2005. This was Midlothian's last remaining papermill and after demolition is now the site of new home development.[1] Nearby Auchendinny House was the last country house designed by gentleman architect Sir William Bruce.[2]
Buildings of Note
Penicuik was the heart of the Scottish paper industry,[3] and the nearby mill (the Brunt Mill) at Auchendinny was established in 1716. The mill was destroyed by fire in the 1840s.[4] It became a laundry in 1856, serving Queen Victoria during her residence at Holyroodhouse, and operated as such until the 1960s.[5]
Auchendinny House was remodelled by Robert Lorimer in 1900.[6]
