The influential writer and historian Thomas Carlyle was born in this attractive whitewashed house in 1795. The interior of the cottage has remained virtually untouched since it first opened to the public in 1881, with many of the Carlyle family's personal belongings on display.

At Wanlockhead you can see a 19th century water-balance pump used to drain the nearby Straitsteps lead mine. The Beam Engine was built in 1875 and remained in use until 1945. It was then restored by Historic Scotland but is maintained by the local Wanlockhead Museum Trust, who run the nearby Scottish Lead Mining Museum.
