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.
