Dalkeith Thistle's home strip is black and gold. Their change strip is navy blue and sky blue.

They play their home matches at King's Park, which has room for roughly 2,000 spectators. The new pavilion was erected in 2007, and floodlights were installed at the ground in 2013. There is also a community and youth wing to the club which operates out of Cowden Park in the town's Woodburn neighbourhood.[2]

From 2020, newly-formed EoSFL adult team Edinburgh South will ground-share at Dalkeith, due to the ground used by their many youth teams in The Inch, Edinburgh not meeting requirements.[3]

Honours
gollark: As well as this one.
gollark: This can go in my list of "out of context styro quotes".
gollark: I assumed it was just a joke. And it is quite funny. But I guess it's dual-purpose.
gollark: The only message on 19 December is> 6K+ already?!?which seems pretty innocuous, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 20 December one about the (not implemented yet) restricted thing channels and will chalk this down to... time zones, or something.I'd kind of expect you to have said something in the intervening four months if this was a problem for you.
gollark: I mean, you're incoherently rambling about some rights violation and facism, so eh.
