Gorebridge is a small former mining town in Midlothian, Scotland, lying about eight miles south‑east of Edinburgh. It grew in the 19th century around coal workings and the railway, and the revival of the line with the reopening of the station as part of the Borders Railway has strengthened its role as a commuter hub while keeping its village feel.
The town sits amid rolling farmland and easy walking country - close to the Pentland Hills and neighbouring communities such as Newtongrange and Dalkeith - and has a visible mining heritage with active community groups, local events and green spaces along the river valleys that give it a mix of historic character and practical links to Edinburgh.
