It was very good, the museum part was very informative, and we went on a guided tour that included a walk into one of the mines, as far as a stope (dirty big hole in the ground), rhenium down to some workers cottages, a pumping engine, and to the 2nd oldest subscription library in Scotland. The guide was very knowledgeable, he was quite local and therefore difficult to interpret if you were foreign. As we were heading home from a holiday in Scotland we didn't have a lot of time to explore the local area, but there were more trails available to take.

Driven past the sign on the M74 for this many times, finally decided to visit.

Was not disappointed. Great little museum, friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend the guided tour. If you have to weight, there is a good circular walk along the steam.

Would come again!

Excellent place to visit with loads of history. The food from the cafè was really great as was the coffee, and they have Oat Milk amd gluten free items. All the staff I spoke too were very enthusiastic about the place. Dogs are allowed inside the cafè within a designated sitting are which is surrounded by historic facts. There are public toilets seperate to the Cafè.

We hebben de tour met museum, mijn, mijnwerkershuisjes en bibliotheek gedaan. Zowel avontuurlijk als educatief. We hebben een goed beeld gekregen van het leven in en buiten de mijn. Goede schoenen zijn vereist.

A brilliant day out, as simple as that.
This is definitely worth a visit, the guided tour is brilliant and informative. It took us just over 2hrs for the full tour.

Well, what can I say...... loved it. I thought that museum was one of the best I have been to, in terms of the location, the tour of the mine, exhibition explaining the geology, the café and then the gold panning. It's all in one place.
The staff that took the tour lovely people, eager to answer questions and explain things about what had happened at the site. Always courteous and polite. Really lovely people.
The staff at the museum, were also courteous, polite and very bubbly. You can tell that the staff all know each other well and like working at the museum.

I loved the mine tour and would have loved to see more- eg where the tour stops about a 1000ft into the mine. I believe they are trying to open more of the mine which is great news.
The lovely walk to the beam engine and then to the cottage.
The library was fascinating and a real eye opener to what education did for the community.

The tour was sympathetic to the mining community, at the same time realistic about the families trying to make a living in what were harsh conditions above and below ground.
I have nothing other than, it was good value for money, the weather assisted and made for an all-round brilliant experience.

Over and above this the narrow gauge railway from Leadhills, using it as transport to the Glengonner mini station to then walk down to the museum is my tip for anyone interested.

I called just in time to catch the last tour of the day, I joined a few others to make a small group which was ideal for the mine tour. Tour also included a short walk to the cottage which had period displays, really well put together. The museum is worth a look too.
