LATEST ON THE VILLAGE PLAN
The draft Plan has been available for everyone to review for the last month - the closing date was Sunday 15 February. Thanks to all who took the time to read the plan, comment, or drop in at the community lunch earlier in February for a chat.
A summary of everyone's comments and suggested changes will be presented and discussed at the Community Council meeting on Sunday 22 February, at 7pm in the Museum. Everyone is welcome. The plan will then be finalised and submitted to Dumfries and Galloway Council for registration.

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.
