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). ....

If anyone remembers what was on the site of V&A Dundee before Kengo Kuma’s building broke ground, then a new hand-painted billboard, measuring 10 metres wide by 3.5 metres high, will prompt some happy memories.
The mural has been inspired by the original Olympia swimming pool, which stood here from 1974 until its demolition. It’s now the leisure centre at East Whale Lane.
Memories of coloured bands, the café, and those flumes that took daredevils out over the Tay – and were the largest in Europe – will flood back at the thought of that building.
