About Newcraighall
Newcraighall is a village. Location: Edinburgh, Scotland. Elevation: 36 m.
Newcraighall (Scots: Newcraighauch, Scottish Gaelic: Talla na Creige Nuadh) is a South-Eastern 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.
