Note: de tailed profiles for the 10 Community Health and Care Partnership (CHCP) areas in Greater Glasgow & Clyde NHS Board area have been produced separately by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH) – www.gcph.co.uk/communityprofiles (with links also from the ScotPHO website). The profiles are designed to: • provide organisations and communities with up-to-date and locally-relevant public health intelligence; • highlight health and social inequalities; • show trends in key indicators; • provide local information for targeting resources and priority-setting; and • develop knowledge of the complex nature of health and its determinants. In addition to the CHP area reports there are: a Scotland level report (including data for NHS boards), a technical report, spine charts for intermediate zones (IZs) and localities, and time trends and rank charts for other indicators and geographies. These are all available from the ScotPHO website at www.scotpho.org.uk/profiles . We aim to update the profiles in future. ScotPHO,is part of the UK & Ireland Association of Public Health Observatories. Midlothian CHP at a Glance Population Profile Midlothian CHP has an estimated total population of 79,290. The population is relatively ‘young’; the percentage of the total population who are aged 0-15 years is the fifth highest of the 40 CHPs in Scotland. Life expectancy is better than the Scotland average for males, and similar to Scotland for females, but has been rising over time for both sexes. Ethnic minority groups account for 0.9% of the population (2001 Census), which is significantly lower than the Scottish average (2. Mortality All-cause mortality (all ages), and mortality rates from heart disease, cancer and stroke (under-75s), are all slightly better (lower) than the Scottish average, but not significantly so. Substance Use An estimated 26.5% of adults smoke, compared to 27.3% in Scotland as a whole. With 95 alcohol related deaths in the last five years, the death rate is significantly better than (below) the Scotland average, as is the proportion of the population hospitalised for alcohol related and attributable causes. The proportion of the population hospitalised for drug related conditions is similar to the Scottish average, and there were 152 such patients over the last three years. Ill Health & Injury and Mental Health & Function For patients with heart disease, and multiple admission patients aged 65 and over, the proportions of the population hospitalised are significantly worse (higher) than the Scottish average. By contrast, the proportion of the population admitted as emergencies is significantly better (lower) than average. Expected years of life in good health are 67.6 for males and 71.1 for females (Scotland 66.3 and 70.2 respectively). The percentage of patients prescribed drugs for anxiety, depression or psychosis is significantly worse (higher) than the Scottish average. However, ‘not good’ self-assessed health and ‘limiting long-term illness’ (2001 Census) are both significantly better (lower) than average, as is the percentage of adults claiming certain disability benefits. Social Care & Housing Midlothian CHP has a significantly lower percentage of lone pensioner households, and a higher percentage of providers of unpaid care for over 20 hours per week, than Scotland as a whole (2001 Census). A significantly lower percentage of older people receive free personal care at home compared to the Scottish average; and 28.7% of older people with intensive care needs are cared for at home, rather than in care homes or geriatric long-stay hospital beds (similar to Scotland at 29.2%). Education, Employment & Prosperity Midlothian CHP has a significantly better (lower) than average percentage of people living in the 15% ‘most deprived’ areas of Scotland (6.8% compared with 15.0% nationally). This is reflected in the other education, employment & prosperity indicators, with the area rating significantly better than, or not significantly different to, the Scottish average. Crime and Environment The crime rate and the rate of assault hospital patients are both significantly better (lower) than the Scotland average. With nearly half the population living within 500 metres of a derelict site, Midlothian CHP is the fifth worst (highest) of all 40 Scottish CHPs. ‘Access deprivation’ is, however, significantly better than average. Child & Maternal Health The CHP ranks sixth worst (highest) for teenage pregnancy rates. However, most other indicators of child and maternal health are significantly better than the Scottish average, including maternal smoking (fourth best CHP), breastfeeding, childhood immunisation uptake (third best CHP), child dental health and unintentional injuries to children in the home.

Old farm buildings on a Pentland hillside Answer at the foot of Page 6 It’s Our Arthur! Readers of the Edinburgh News in August may have seen an article titled “Hard-working Arthur Helps Steer Festival”. It starts: “Council chiefs have paid tribute to one of Midlothian Outdoor Festival’s most dedicated volun- teers…..” referring, of course, to Arthur McKenzie, well known in our circles as ever-present on work parties and regular Pentlands walker. It ends with a quote from Arthur – “I’d climb the walls if I had to stay in and watch day- time telly.” From a man in his mid-eighties this is inspirational! Editorial This edition of Pentland Post will be my last as editor, and is, in fact a joint effort by my replacement, Peter Moore, and myself. Peter will assume the role of editor next year, mainly responsible for this magazine and the production of our calendar. Thanks to all who have supported me over the last five years, especially John Stirling and Ian Combe, both regular suppliers of excellent material. Con- tributions from members for this magazine are what make it a good read, so, on Peter’s behalf, I ask you all to consider sending in articles and photographs for May 2020.

  • Andrew Fraser Collection, PDF 632.82 KB Download
    Midlothian Council Archives The Andrew Fraser Collection Ref: GB584/AFC Name of creator Andrew Fraser (1917-2007), native of Bonnyrigg and Midlothian County librarian. Biographical history Andrew Fraser (21 November 1917-16 June 2007) was the son of Andrew Fraser (1880-1958), a lithographic artist, and Elizabeth Bone (1880-1983). A native of Bonnyrigg, Andrew worked for Midlothian Library Service in its various guises for 47 years. In his youth, he was a keen Boy Scout and a founder member of the Bonnyrigg and District Motorcycle Club. He joined the Midlothian County Library Service in April 1935, but his early career was interrupted by the Second World War. He served as a Lance Corporal with the King’s Own Scottish Borderers and he was a prisoner of war in Germany for five years. In late 1946, he attended the City of London College School of Librarianship. Subsequently, he became Depute Librarian of Midlothian County and the first Librarian of Midlothian District Council after the reorganisation of local government in 1975. Andrew had a great interest in the history of Midlothian and was instrumental in setting up the Midlothian Local Studies Library. Thanks to his intervention and foresight, many unique documents about the Midlothian area were saved from destruction. A tall, reserved man who often wore a kilt, Andrew was a meticulous scholar and his work is invaluable to researchers of local history. He was a well-respected figure in the local community and a great advocate of public libraries. In a typical act of generosity, he donated his lifelong collection of books and other items to Midlothian Local Studies so that others might benefit from them.

  • Midlothian Council Archives the Black Collection 1880
    MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES THE BLACK COLLECTION 1880 – 1930 GB584/BLA Name of creator The Black family of Penicuik Administrative and biographical history The Black Collection is a remarkable record about the town of Penicuik and surrounding area from c.1880 to c.1930. The collection is named after James Black and his son Robert, who assembled a huge amount of material about Penicuik. The collection includes research and lecture notes, newspaper cuttings, notebooks, postcards, photograph albums and other items. James Livingstone Black was born in Airdrie in April 1841, the thirteenth child of Robert Black of Fife. A ‘lad o’ pairts’, he served his apprenticeship for Thomas Nelson & Sons, the Edinburgh publishing house. In 1867, he moved to Penicuik where he ran a newsagent’s shop and circulating library in Bridge Street. He worked at Valleyfield paper-mill for over forty years and wrote stories and reports for local newspapers. Politically, he was a staunch Liberal and supported William Gladstone during the famous Midlothian Campaign in the 1880s. He was a member of the Penicuik Lodge of Free Gardeners and Penicuik United Free Church. He loved the countryside around Penicuik and was an authority on local history and legend. In his eighties, he wrote Penicuik and Neighbourhood: Old Stories Retold. James Black died in June 1925 and is buried in Penicuik Churchyard. Robert E. Black was the eldest son of James Black. He was a native of Penicuik and spent all of his working life at Valleyfield paper-mill. Like his father, he was a member of the Penicuik Lodge of Free Gardeners, the Penicuik Rifle Brigade and the Freemasons.
