Roslin Moat Pit memorial bench unveiled
A new memorial bench to remember the workers at one of Midlothian’s many coal pits was unveiled to the public last week.
Roslin Village Group launched the memorial bench last week to remember those who worked in the Roslin Moat Pit Bench which closed in 1969.
The £1,200 cost of the bench was paid by local councillor Pauline Winchester (Con) from her environmental fund and donations to the Roslin Village Group.
