Great little museum - lots of local objects are carefully preserved. Clearly people of this area have been industrious and entrepreneurial. Unfortunately the 8m audio-visual presentation was not available when I visited. The lady at the desk dismissed it as it was produced in 1980s. But we expect to see old materials in museum:)!

A lovely place to visit. The gentleman in the museum was very informative and helpful. The exhibits explained the local history well and there was a very informative video. Extremely interesting information about the Sanquhar pattern. I would recommend a visit to this venue for all.
