Directions from the M74

Your junction number from the M74 will be determined by the direction in which you are travelling. If you are travelling northbound on the M74 then use junction 14.

If you are travelling southbound then leave at junction 13. Follow the signs for Leadhills and Wanlockhead. When you arrive in Wanlockhead, follow the road round past the top side of the village.

Directions from the A76

To reach us from the A76 Dumfries to Kilmarnock road, check out the map and you will see the junction for Wanlockhead (B797) is just outside the village of Mennock, two miles from Sanquhar. This route will take you through the spectacular Mennock Pass, as it climbs up to the village.

As you enter Wanlockhead take the first left just before the bus stop (signposted for the Lead Mining Museum), then turn immediately right, follow the private road along to the very end and Winlocke Cottage is the last cottage that you come to.
