Industrial Heritage & Museum

Prestongrange was designated as the Scottish Mining Museum in the early 1980's, but first shared with, and then lost that title to, Newtoungrange's Lady Victoria Colliery.

The Industrial Heritage of the Barony of Prestoungrange is under the stewardship of the Heritage Museum on the site of the old coal mine, brickworks and pottery kilns. It's most famous monument is the Beam Engine. Working in partnership with staffs at the museum, the Baron Court has created a wide range of on-line educational/learning resources for those wishing to make visits. They take the form of a Resource Booklet, a Study Leader's Briefing Guide and a Forum for Feedback and Comment - all available here with a click.

The Study Leader's Briefing Guides suggest how effective learning can be gained for different ages.
