Pathhead is a small village in Midlothian, Scotland, set beside the River Tyne at the foot of the Moorfoot Hills and a short drive south‑east of Edinburgh. Its riverside setting and surrounding farmland give it a distinctly rural feel despite its proximity to larger towns.
Historically the village grew with 19th‑century local industry and mining, and today it retains stone‑built streets, a village hall and a pub while supporting an active community life. Many residents commute to nearby centres for work, but walking routes, local events and a quieter pace of life keep Pathhead a popular base for people wanting countryside within easy reach of the capital.
