Leadhills & Wanlockhead Railway

Run entirely by volunteers in the historic village of Leadhills, the railway incorporates period diesel locomotives and 0.75 mile of narrow gauge track. Also a signalbox formed from material recovered from the branch line viaduct.

Leadhills has the memorial to William Symington (early pioneer of steam navigation), a curfew bell which regulated the miners' lives, and a Miners Library with a collection of books going back to the 1741 formation of the Library. Leadhills was the birthplace of the poet Allan Ramsay.

Areas of the site which are not usually accessible to the?public (workshops, loco shed and storage sheds with items awaiting restoration) will be open.

Normal railway services will be run. There is a charge for tickets.
