About Biggar Gasworks Steam Days

Listed Under History Events / Family and Kids Events

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 coal fired boiler put to work and the steam driven machinery in action. Learn the secret of how gas was produced from coal from our guides on site.

No booking required.

Included in admission price. Tickets can be purchased on arrival.
