It's even in m-w.com!  Click on the icon and  hear the word spoken.
Main Entry: Mid·lo·thi·an
Pronunciation: mid-'lO-[th]E-&n
Function: geographical name
administrative area of SE Scotland area 137 square miles (356 square
kilometers)

I would put a y-glide before final syllable.  Sometime m-w.com puts y-glides
in, sometimes not.
