Couple of days ago I had a wander along Dalkeith High Street for a wee change, and being able to take my time I had a look at the Old Corn Exchange which has now been lying empty for the past thirty odd years, which is a bit of a shame as it was once a beautiful building and very well used. the crest above the front door is beautifully carved with lots of detail.
A bit further along the street is the Old St Nicholas Church on a site where churches have stood since the early 1300's.
The oldest grave stone of the site dates back to 1722 (the big grave above), and around the walls there are some of the old style skeletal carvings. Next time I will try and get into the church where there are apparantly a lot of the older artefacts on display.
