Armed Forces / Any leads from photo

Hi, I was hoping someone can help me identify any information from the attached photo? This was in my grandfather's very few belongings and must have been of significance to him. Any suggestions of time frame/military branch etc from the uniform would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Midlothian / South Lodge Kirknewton

Hi I am trying to find information about the parent/parents of my grandmother, Margaret Douglas Wick Anderson. Her birth certificate was registered in Edinburgh DOB 1 June 1929. According to her birth certificate mother was Agnes Anderson “daughter of oresman”. Domicile: South Lodge Kirknewton.
No father information.
My grandmother may have been an orphan, but how to find records, would her mother have been listed if she was an orphan immediately?
I would love any information on what is an oresman- a miner? I’ve been reading shale mining was common in Kirknewton in this time frame? Any information on South Lodge? Where to even begin finding orphan records for this time and region? Thanks in advance
