Rosewell – Over the years in a PSG Rosewell originated as a mining village with brick-built nge of cottages laid out in a street pattern of miners’ rows dominating the character of the village. The original village was complete by the early 1900s. tivities helping to improve the quality of life in our Rosewell bypass was constructed providing scope for new housing including employment land identified on the stabilised land between the village and the bypass road. It has been acknowledged in the Midlothian Local Development Plan that the bypass provides a strong boundary to the village and that this should form the limit of village expansion. Rosewell Steading is currently being redeveloped for a Community Hub with the project being delivered by the Rosewell Development Trust. This will provide a central focus for the village. Rosewell has a good footpath / cycle route (Penicuik- Musselburgh Walkway / NCR196) which follows the old railway line through Bonnyrigg to Eskbank, providing good access to Bonnyrigg town centre, the Midlothian Community Hospital and the superstore at Hardengreen. Rosewell has seen many changes over the years and has always had a strong vibrant community. We must embrace the new developments to help influence the changes over the coming years. 1968 2018
Rosewell A growing community, embracing old and new developments. Your Neighbourhood Group welcomes you.
