A very informative museum giving information about Scotish industrial life. Unfortunately the tram line was not running on the day, but that didn't detract from the visit. The are machines and displays from all eras covered. There is parking on site, a cafe, toilets gift shop and also an old style sweet shop out by the miners cottages display. Museum is free, but worth a donation as you leave.
