National Mining Museum Scotland

A museum in a restored colliery at Newtongrange, with mining displays, family trails and the interactive Green Zone. Gallery visits and guided pithead tours offer different ways to explore.

Before you go

Check tour and exhibition availability before travelling around 31 October, as a filming-closure notice is listed for that date. The guided tour includes the sounds and atmosphere of a working pit; a galleries-only visit is a different option.
