Police house in Danderhall

Danderhall is a village in Midlothian, Scotland. It is just outside the city of Edinburgh, but inside the Edinburgh City Bypass.

The village includes a large amount of council housing — although much of this is now privately owned by the occupiers. Danderhall was formerly a "mining village", supplying labour for the nearby coal mines of Edmonstone to the northwest, Sheriffhall to the southeast, Woolmet to the east and Monktonhall beyond that. The latter was the last to remain open, but closed in 1998.[1]

Danderhall is made up of 1,200 homes and a small number of shops. Danderhall also includes a library, primary school, two churches (a Church of Scotland and "Calvary Chapel of Edinburgh"[2]), a doctor's office, a miner's club with a bowling green and a community centre.

Notable people from Danderhall include footballer Grant Brebner, now playing in Australia and former Hearts and Motherwell footballer Kevin Twaddle; the village is also home to Scottish bowlers David Peacock, Alex Marshall and David Marshall.
