Hidden Treasures, Museum of Lead Mining, is situated in Wanlockhead, the highest village in Scotland. Here you can explore the Visitor Centre, take a tour into the dark inside the Lead Mine and see how people lived here in three period Cottages 1750,1850 and 1910.

Despite the hardship of the work and the climate, Wanlockhead’s miners created one of the oldest Subscription Libraries in the country, which still has its original collection of almost 3,000 books.
