Minibuses for Gorebridge and south Midlothian
Gorebridge got its railway station back in 2015, and it's made the commute into Edinburgh far easier. It hasn't made getting a group to the airport any easier though. That still means a change of train or a taxi from Waverley. A minibus from your door cuts all that out.
Days out from Gorebridge
There's more nearby than people think. Vogrie Country Park has woods, a walled garden and a big play park. Arniston House, a Georgian country house still lived in by the same family, opens for guided tours in summer. And the National Mining Museum at Newtongrange tells the story of the coal industry that built villages like Gorebridge in the first place. It's a good one for school trips and for anyone with family who worked down the pits.
Further afield
The A7 runs south from here into the Borders. Groups heading to Galashiels, or to Melrose for the Sevens in April, often start from Gorebridge, and a minibus means nobody has to stay sober to drive.
