Shawfair is a 21st century development, primarily residential in character, under construction in Midlothian, Scotland, near to the existing village of Danderhall and the hamlets of Newton and Millerhill, which lie just outside the eastern boundary of the city of Edinburgh.[2][3][4][5] It is to be built on the site of the former Monktonhall Colliery. The name is derived from a local farm steading of the same name.
