Wanlockhead in Dumfriesshire is Scotland’s highest village. Picture: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images WANLOCKHEAD is a place where the superlatives trip off the tongue. As Scotland s highest village, it sits at a lofty elevation of 1,531 feet – that s 467 metres – above sea level. There s a feeling of making a grand entrance as you approach, the first glimpse coming as the B-road snaking through this part of Dumfriesshire curves sharply, framing a smattering of whitewashed stone cottages nestled in the Lowther Hills. Renowned for its lead-mining heritage, Wanlockhead s other claims to fame include being home to the second-oldest subscription library in Europe. It is a gold panning hot spot and enjoyed a starring role in a major TV series (move over Monarch of the Glen).
