Marvel at the sheer size of the Scottish Mining Museum. Be astounded by the engineering brilliance and retrace the struggles of thousands of miners and their families who lived before you. Enjoy the exhibitions, theatres, interactives, magic helmet tours and the coal face. All our guides are ex-miners who are full of stories for you to hear.

Since its establishment in 1984 this award winning museum has provided a great day out for all the family. The Scottish Mining Museum is a nationally registered independent museum which was founded to preserve and present Scotland's mining heritage.

The Scottish Mining Museum is based at one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian colliery in Europe, the Lady Victoria Colliery at Newtongrange, just nine miles from Edinburgh.
