Histoire du musée Sanquhar Tolbooth

Le musée Sanquhar Tolbooth est situé dans un bâtiment historique du 18ème siècle, qui servait à l'origine de Tolbooth. Ce bâtiment a été conçu en style baroque en 1739 par l'architecte écossais William Adam et est aujourd'hui classé en tant qu'édifice de catégorie A.

Bâtiment historique du 18ème siècle

À l'intérieur du musée, les visiteurs peuvent en apprendre davantage sur la tradition du tricot de Sanquhar, connue pour ses motifs caractéristiques à deux couleurs. L'histoire de l'industrie minière à Sanquhar et Kirkconnel, y compris les conditions de vie des mineurs, est également mise en lumière.

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.
