Dropped in on a recommendation and were really glad we had. Mini g, POWs history of Sanquhar, The Marches and the fascinating tale of the admirable Crichton amongst other. Well worth visiting · via Google [AG Yu](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106687500650015120309/reviews) ★★★★★ Great little museum - lots of local objects are carefully preserved. Clearly people of this area have been industrious and entrepreneurial. Unfortunately the 8m audio-visual presentation was not available when I visited. The lady at the desk dismissed it as it was produced in 1980s. But we expect to see old materials in museum:)! · via Google [FIONA](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/114312911007702039846/reviews) ★★★★★ Definitely worth a visit. Excellent displays and history of Sanquhar. No entry fee. · via Google [Svitlana Boiko](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105718874966285576143/reviews) ★★★★★ A small but charming and informative museum. We were met by a very friendly young man. The museum has a LEGO trail for children, along with a special corner where you can take photos or keep the kids entertained with drawing activities. Don’t miss the old prison on the ground floor—be sure to read the accompanying information, as it’s filled with amusing and fascinating stories. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4862a130c98b687b:0x719bebaaf0a18b8a!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** High Street, Sanquhar, DG4 6BN [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=55.3679698%2C-3.9249990) **Category** Museums & Galleries **Guest rating** 4.7 / 5 (29 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Sanquhar [More attractions in Sanquhar](https://staycation.co.uk/sanquhar/attractions) ★ 4.7 (29 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.dumgal.gov.uk/article/15738/Sanquhar-Tolbooth-Museum?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01659 50186](tel:0165950186) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Sanquhar **Postcode** DG4 6BN **Plus Code** 9C7R939G+52 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x4862a130c98b687b:0x719bebaaf0a18b8a!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4862a130c98b687b:0x719bebaaf0a18b8a!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x4862a130c98b687b:0x719bebaaf0a18b8a!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Sanquhar Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
