The Other Side

I had to drop in at a house in Wanlockhead to get a form signed for work. This is the old school and school house with the library in the background. Though a mile away from Leadhills Wanlockhead is in a different region and owned by the Duke of Buccleuch we are owned by Lord Hopetoun . Both had lead mines. There used to be huge rivalry between the villages and various challenges from curling to quoits to bowling . We still like to have the odd dig at each other in a friendly banter way.
