The duke of Buccleuch granted the site to the Commissioners of Supply in 1864. The barracks complex originally consisted of sleeping quarters, powder magazine and a yard for mustering the troops. The militia were transferred to Glencorse in 1878, and the buildings were subsequently used by the police and the Dalkeith Volunteers. The police vacated the premises in 1980, and the other buildings were demolished. The remaining building is now used as office premises, and is situated within a modern housing complex, Elmfield Court.
