Dalkeith

 

The word 'Dalkeith' may be of Celtic origin, compounded of Dal, a dale, and Caeth, confined, perhaps describing its peninsular character of lying between the two rivers, the North Esk and the South Esk, which meet downstream in Dalkeith Country Park, at Waters' Meet. Some kind of settlement existed before the 12th century but it was in 1369 that Sir James Douglas became first Lord of Dalkeith. He built the chapel which formed the nucleus of what became St Nicholas Church. A later James Douglas of different disposition built Dalkeith Palace in the 1570s and he played a part in the murder of Darnley, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, an act for which he was beheaded some years later.
