Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, the regional final of the Scottish Tourism Thistle Awards –
Central & East brought together tourism businesses from across these regions including
Edinburgh, with Midlothian businesses represented.

Huge congratulations to The Original Rosslyn Inn for taking home the Best Bar or Pub award, as well as to our fantastic Midlothian finalists, Rosslyn Chapel (Inclusion Award) and The Old Millhouse (Best Self Catering or Exclusive Use).

Chair of MTF, Ian Gardner said:
The breadth of Midlothian representation across both award programmes demonstrates the strength and diversity of the area’s tourism and hospitality offering.
From visitor attractions and accommodation to cafés, restaurants, pubs and community organisations, businesses across Midlothian continue to demonstrate high standards and a commitment to creating memorable experiences for visitors and local communities alike.
Midlothian Tourism Forum would like to congratulate all the Midlothian businesses and organisations represented at both award ceremonies and celebrate their contribution to putting Midlothian firmly on the tourism map.
