TO THE HONOURABLE

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISION.

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

I HAVE the honour of submitting
for your consideration a Report on Mid-Lothian
for the year ending 1891.

Area
and Population.
Edinburghshire has altogether an area of 362
square miles, but this includes that of the City of
Edinburgh and of various Burghs.
The population, exclusive of the City and
of the burghs of Leith, Portobello, Musselburgh,
Dalkeith, Loanhead, Penicuik, Bonnyrigg, and
Lasswade is, as nearly as it is possible at present
to determine, 70,313. This is the population
under the jurisdiction of the various District
Committees of the Mid-Lothian County Council.
The populous places besides Burghs in the
County, meaning thereby villages of 50 to villages
of 1700, number over one hundred.

Four Districts
- the Sub -
urban, Calder,
Lasswade, and
Gala Water.
The County is divided into Four Districts:-
The SUBURBAN, including the parishes of Corstor-
phone, Colinton, Cramond, Duddingston, Liberton,
Newton, and parts of St. Cuthbert's and of South
Leith; the CALDER DISTRICT, embracing the parishes
of West Calder, Mid-Calder, Kirknewton, Currie,
Ratho, and part of Kirkliston; the LASSWADE DIST-
TRICT, composed of the parishes of Glencorse,
