Welcome to the Wanlockhead Community Council's website - Scotland’s highest village, perched at 1,531 feet in the Lowther Hills of Dumfries and Galloway. With around 150 residents, our community lives amid rugged beauty and a rich metal mining past. Known as ‘God’s Treasure House,’ we’re home to the UK’s second-oldest subscription library, Scotland’s loftiest pub—the Wanlockhead Inn—and The Museum of Lead Mining which celebrates our lead and gold heritage. Situated at the top of our community gardens you’ll find the Wanlockhead Community Centre, once our village school.

The community council aims to improve and enhance life in Wanlockhead for every resident.
