Wanlockhead, Dumfries & Galloway - The Highest Village In Scotland
This village is now the location for the BBC TV series "Hope Springs" made by Shed Productions, the company who also created winning programmes like "Bad Girls" "Waterloo Road" and "Footballers' Wives", so it's sure to be a success.
Firstly is a view of the older part of the village, set deep in the Lowther Hills, looking to the north-east. In the foreground is the Museum of Lead Mining.
A little closer in, showing more detail.
The Lead Mining Museum is also a centre for the teaching of gold panning and has hosted the World Gold Panning Championships as well as the British and Scottish Gold Panning Championships for many years.
Looking north, towards the church and the main mines.
The old beam engine can be seen on the far left. The long-distance walking route, The Southern Upland Way runs right through the village and can be seen here across the bottom of the photo.
The full-sized images available to clients are about 70 times the size of the images shown here
and as you would expect they show a great deal more detail than the .jpg website versions.
Standard images are 5,000 pixels wide and ~50Mb in size. Panoramas are much bigger.
