In Person

For more than 130 years, from 1839 to 1973, Biggar Gasworks made coal gas for the town and surrounding district. It was one of the first small town gasworks to open in Scotland, and among the last to close. 

For Doors Open Days visit Biggar Gasworks to find out from our knowledgeable guides how the gasworks operated before its closure in 1973, and take part in some fun family activities.
