Five fairs are held during the year - one of these, on the 31st July, was established in 1820 for the sale of Lambs but it has not succeeded. The rest are for the transaction of business of all sorts.

In the western parts of the parish the principal fuel is Peats; but in the town & around it, Coals brought from the mines of Mid Lothian are chiefly used. The average price per cwt [hundredweight] is about £0.1.0 or £0.1.1.
