The Cuckoo is no longer publishing but you can continue to enjoy our old articles.

About Us

The Penicuik Cuckoo was Penicuik’s sole news website dedicated to the going-ons in Midlothian’s papermaking town.

Operated by volunteers from 2012 to 2018, the Penicuik Cuckoo was a truly local news website that aimed to inform residents of important news, along with event information, sport updates and handy weather alerts and forecasts.
