McArthur Glen Design Outlet Centre

“All the high street favourites, as well as a Cinema, Crazy Golf, and numerous restaurants. ”

“Local Indian restaurant, walking distance. Highly rated on trip advisor. Great takeaway too.”

“This is one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian colliery in Europe. The highly rated visitor attraction is a twice winner of the Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions "Best Visitor Experience" Award. Visitors to the museum will marvel at the sheer size of the place, be astounded by the engineering brilliance behind all the machinery and retrace the footsteps of the thousands of miners that plied their trade within Newtongrange through the many interactive exhibitions. There is also a café which serves fresh food daily and a gift shop with bespoke souvenirs. Knowledgeable and personable guided tours are also available. Audio tour and self-guided options in English, Deutsch and Français.”

“We love the medium length walk beside the river - it's quiet and peaceful, and we've spotted deer in the woods. The cafe is usually pretty busy, but worth a visit. If you have children the Fort Douglas play area is great, although we think it's a little pricey - make sure you leave plenty of time to enjoy it.”
