Museum

The ore-field around Wanlockhead is the most important lead-zinc and mineral deposit in Scotland. The award-winning Scottish Lead Mining Museum is only minutes from the hostel.

                    

The Museum has something for everyone; you can experience a real lead mine, learn about the minerals found in the area, visit the miners cottages or pan for gold!
