Moat Park Heritage Centre ::

The Moat Park Heritage Centre is the flagship of Biggar Museum Trust, opened in 1988 by HRH The Princess Royal.

Geology displays explain how the Clyde and Tweed valleys were formed millions of years ago, and splendid models portray early dwellings, mottes, castles and bastle houses, all accompanied by archaeological exhibits.

Among many other colourful characters from history you will encounter an Iron Age family and one of the invading Roman soldiers from around 1900 years ago.

You can also see the unique 'Menzies Moffat' patchwork, a magnificent Victorian piece nine feet by eight feet with over eighty colourful figures meticulously stitched into place by an eccentric tailor during the Crimean war, as well as many other iterms of memorabilia and photographs of bygone days.
