Things to see and do Biggar

Opened in the summer of 2015, it is the museum of a whole region, in the Clyde Valley. Its diverse collections explore 14,000 years of history in rural areas and small villages in the surrounding area, from prehistory to the mid-20th century. The first men of Scotland, the Neolithic farmers, the Bronze and Iron Ages, the Romans, the Middle Ages, the Victorian era, the World Wars are covered here, through period objects and reconstructions.

In operation from 1839 to 1973 - among the first to open and the last to close - this coal gas plant in Scotland is presented in this attraction that looks back at Biggar's industrial past. Unchanged since its closure, we discover a capital activity of the Victorian era, to light the streets and dwellings. The shovels and wheelbarrows have not moved, and you can also see the machines, some of which are in operation, learning about production techniques and breathing in that particular smell that you no longer know.

The Biggar Puppet Theatre is an institution that extends far beyond Biggar's borders, as it is known around the world and regularly tours internationally. It is also the only institution of its kind in Scotland. For 40 years, the shows have been thrilling the childlike souls of their spectators and inviting them to poetic journeys. These are shows with large puppets, manipulated in the Bunraku style, designed for children, but widely appreciated and appreciated by adults.
