Dalkeith Water Tower is a significant Scottish historical civil engineering landmark built in 1879. The tower was internally stripped and converted to a dwelling in the late 1980s. Today (2024) it can now be rented as a holiday let.

All levels in the tower are accessed by a spiral staircase located on one side of the building. There’s a ground floor entrance area, first floor bedroom, second floor bedroom, third floor bathroom, fourth floor kitchen and a living room on the fifth floor with a 360° outside balcony.

The tower is one of the historical civil engineering works featured in Civil Engineering Heritage Scotland; Lowlands and Borders published by Thomas Telford Ltd (2007). The entry can be viewed in the Paxton Archive (see item 28 on page 134 here).
