Symington is a hamlet, of one farm and a few cottages, on the west side of the Gala Water amongst the Moorfoot Hills in southernmost Midlothian. It lies in the parish of Stow to the south of Fountainhall.

The railway line from Galashiels northwards to Edinburgh runs up the dale of the Gala past Symington, although there was never a station here, with the nearest being at Fountainhall, now closed.
