Welcome to the Damhead & District Community!

Damhead & District Community Council

Welcome to the Official Damhead & District Community Council's website!

Damhead & District Community Council represents people living in an area which is a mosaic of varying physical features in a rural setting. The city bypass forms the northern boundary, the Pentland Regional Park the western side, to the A701 corridor and Straiton to the south.

Over the years we have endeavoured to regenerate a lost community spirit, which was affected by changing economic influences.

This website offers information about the local area, so please use the navigation menu at the top and to the left to browse through our website!
