Auchendinny is a small village near Penicuik, Midlothian. 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. Nearby Auchendinny House was the last country house designed by gentleman architect Sir William Bruce.[1]
The Brunt Mill
Penicuik was the heart of the paper industry locally,[2] and the nearby mill at Auchendinny was established in 1716.
The mill was destroyed by fire in the 1840s.[3] It became a laundry in 1856, serving Queen Victoria during her visits, and operated as such until the 1960s.[4]
