Enter the last remaining town gasworks in Scotland – the only surviving example of a once familiar sight. For more than 130 years, this industrial plant made coal gas for Biggar and beyond before the advent of natural gas in the 1960s.
See the machinery at Biggar Gasworks which was used to generate and distribute gas to the town and beyond in action. The boiler will be lit and there will be the opportunity to chat to volunteers about how the machinery works and what it was used for.
Buy your tickets on arrival.
Access to the boiler house, retort house, and showroom is stepped.
