The Choir of St Nicholas' Collegiate Church, Dalkeith is a fifteenth-century ecclesiastical structure forming part of a collegiate foundation established in Midlothian. The choir represents the eastern liturgical arm of the church, built during a period of significant religious endowment in Scotland when wealthy patrons established collegiate churches to provide sustained prayer and commemoration for their souls. Constructed in the late medieval period, the structure reflects the architectural conventions of Scottish collegiate churches, with masonry walls and spatial arrangement designed to accommodate the canons who performed the daily office. The surviving remains constitute an important record of late medieval religious architecture and patronage in the Lothians region.
