Newcraighall
Newcraighall (,〔(List of railway station names in English, Scots and Gaelic – NewsNetScotland )〕 (スコットランド・ゲール語:Talla na Creige Nuadh))〔(Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba ~ Gaelic Place-Names of Scotland )〕 is a southeastern suburb of Edinburgh, Scotland. A former mining village, its prosperity was based on the Midlothian coalfields. The Newcraighall pit was known as 'Klondyke' and closed in the 1960s, work transferring to nearby Bilston Glen and in particular the last-to-close (1998) Monktonhall pit. The village had a church, a Co-op and a miners club (demolished after a fire on 15 July 2009) and bowling green. Newcraighall now plays host to an out of town shopping complex known as ''The Fort'' or ''Kinnaird Park''.
Newcraighall railway station is the terminus for the short Edinburgh Crossrail service from Edinburgh Waverley via Brunstane. This line uses the northern stub of the former Waverley Route from Carlisle to Edinburgh and although mostly lifted, the Scottish Parliament approved a Bill in June 2006 to reopen the railway from Newcraighall to Tweedbank just south of Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. The line is commissioned (June 2015) and should see its first passenger journeys on 6th Sept 2015, 45 years after closure (Closed 5 January 1969) following the Beeching Report in 1963.
Newcraighall was the setting for the film ''My childhood'' by Bill Douglas, There is a plaque to Bill Douglas in the village. The village also contains the bridge that is the famous scene from the film. The village also contains a sculpture by Jake Harvey which celebrates the mining tradition of the area.
