Things to see and do Sanquhar

Crawick Multiverse is a giant land art project. Nestled in the heart of the hills, it has metamorphosed an old open-cast coal mine into a spectacular art space. Charles Jencks' work reinterprets space in the light of astronomy and cosmology: wanderings through galaxies, universes and comets are traced here. Whether you are sensitive to this art or not, the site is worth a walk, it is so impressive. It regularly hosts shows and is now maintained by the Crawick Multiverse Trust.

Sanquhar is known worldwide for its knitting and the traditions that go with it. That's what you will discover in this museum, and much more. Dedicated to the local life of Upper Nithsdale in the 18th century, it describes the traditions and history of the town. You will be immersed in the life of the miners of the past, when they worked in the surrounding mines. You will also see that it was not enviable to be a prisoner in the city jail
