'''Midlothian County Council was abolished in 1975. ''Most of Midlothian's territory went to a new district called Midlothian within the Lothian region.'' The Midlothian district was smaller than the area of the pre-1975 county, with the parts of the pre-1975 county going to other districts being:'''
*'''Currie, Balerno, Ratho and Newbridge to the city of Edinburgh.'''
*'''Musselburgh burgh and parish of Inveresk (which included the villages of Inveresk, Wallyford and Whitecraig) to [[East Lothian Archives and Libraries|East Lothian.]]'''
*'''The Calders (East Calder, Midcalder and West Calder) and the Midlothian part of Livingston to [[West Lothian Archives and Libraries|West Lothian.]]'''
*'''Heriot and Stow parishes to the Ettrick and Lauderdale district of the [[Scottish Borders Archives and Libraries|Borders region.]]'''
