| Heading into the Lowther Hills |

| In the hills there are two slightly odd looking villages. Leadhills and Wanlockhead. They owe their existence to the minerals found in this area - Lead, copper, zinc, silver and gold. This is the curfew bell in Leadhills. Used in times past to signal shift changes at the mines and get the kids to school. |
