context_page_description: Danderhall is a village in Midlothian, Scotland, just outside Edinburgh but inside the Edinburgh City Bypass.
context_section_description: Woolmet House was a large and highly impressive mansion built for Archibald Napier (1575-1600) around 1590 as a wedding present from his wealthy father Archibald Napier of Merchiston Castle (father of John Napier and of Alexander Napier, Lord Laurieston)). It was demolished in the 1950s due to subsidence caused by Woolmet Colliery. Some carved stones from Woolmet were incorporated into the Castle of Mey around 1990.
  All that remains is an ornamental doorway of around 1700, crudely attaching the modern Miners Welfare Club.
