Low Parks Museum is housed in beautiful and historically significant buildings which were once part of the Duke of Hamilton’s estate. The 18th century Assembly Room, with its original plasterwork and musicians’ gallery, forms a striking centrepiece to the buildings. Displays tell the story of the communities of South Lanarkshire and how they were shaped by the development of industry and housing. There is also a display on the history of The Cameronians regiment, which was raised in South Lanarkshire and, unitl its disbandment in 1968, held a proud place as Scotland’s only rifle regiment. Two large galleries also house a changing programme of temporary exhibitions, ensuring that there is always something new to see.
Low Parks Museum secured 5 Star Visitor Attraction Status in January 2009.
Admission free.
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday 10.00am – 5.00pm, Sundays 12.00pm – 5.00pm
