Visit Biggar and Upper Clydesdale Museum
So much “Biggar” on the inside!
Visit Biggar Museum and you’ll be surprised by how much “bigger” it is on the inside! The museum’s modest exterior hides extensive collections spanning 14,000 years of rural life in Biggar and Upper Clydesdale. Described by one Trip Advisor reviewer as “a small museum packing a mighty punch” you can expect your visit to be an extra special one.
